Anyone have an example of a guy with extremely high splits, great pitches, and very low control?

Looking at a guy with 20 stamina, 25 control, splits of 95/90, pitches 85/65/60.  I'm guessing he'll walk too many guys to be effective, but curious if anyone's played with someone like him.

I've toyed around with a couple of low control guys, but none with splits like this guy.

Quick glance in one of my worlds.   S3.

I'm not sure which is worse...someone drafting that guy 2nd overall, or paying him $5MM.

I always thought it would be interesting to get an entire pitching staff of sub-50 control guys with good splits and high velocity and just put them in an extreme pitcher's park with the 9 best hitters you can find without regard for fielding prowess. You'd walk a ton of guys, strikeout a ton of guys and allow a lot of home runs, and lessen the number of balls your ****** defense had to handle. The idea would be that you could save enough money on your pitching and, with having to worry less about defense, you could build an insane offense and win a lot of 10-8 games.

Seems like it would probably be more trouble than it's worth though.

I picked him up because I had prospect money and needed to spend it, probably would not have bothered otherwise due to his control.  His projected splits with 20M ADV scouting are 98/99 with good pitches and velocity as well.  Projected control of 55.

He has dominated at the big league level so far, but I am constantly waiting for him to lose the plate and blow up.  Only time will tell.
