What do folks think of this guy? He had a nice college career (Fullerton), was great in the CWS, then had a so-so debut last season. This year has been very good in both double-A and triple-A, going a combined 7-1 with a 2.66 era and 9.2 K/IP.

Since moving up to AAA his BAA is up to .271 (was at .227 at Midland) but his K/BB ratio has held up nicely at 16/3 in 17 innings.

So these are pretty good numbers for a pitcher in the Texas and Pacific Coast Leagues, albeit in a very small sample size. What do you expect from him in the future? Looks to me like he's now a good bet to make the majors and stick for a while, though everything I've read says he profiles more like a 3 than an ace. Any chance he beats that projection?

Loved the guy since the CWS

He clearly has heart and brains if his stuff and body holds up he will be a factor.

He became the first pitcher to throw a shutout at the College World Series in 10 years.
"I'm just glad that you and America got to see what we've been seeing for two years," said Fullerton head coach George Horton. "He keeps them off-balance, he keeps pounding the strike zone. You've got to do something special to get any offense off him."
He's probably the biggest competitor on the mound I've ever seen in my life. I'm just glad to be on his team and on the receiving end of his pitches."

Stuff

The only knock I've ever heard on this kid is his stuff is probably not high end. Obviously has pitchability and gets K's even in the high minors. We'll have to see if his command/offspeed combo is successful in the bigs.
