I signed him a couple of weeks ago. He has already gained 2 overall. At 69 when he signed, its the highest I have ever had at 18 years old.

How good do you think he will be? Reasonable expectations.

Surprising that he has already gained 2 points with a 45 make-up rating. I would guess that by the time he is done developing, he will have gained another 10-12 points overall.

Wow. Don't trade him, should be around 90 for VsL and around 80 for VsR. Pitches won't change much. He'll be a great pitcher.

Bring him up to the majors next season after 20 games as a 19 year old. He'll be ML ready, and doing so will mean that he will set records that might last forever

Only caveat - 50 Patience and 45 Makeup. He'll go to free agency after his first LT deal, and he'll start declining a few seasons earlier than some other pitchers. So at least, as the original owner, you can plan for those things.

One problem with bringing him up next season. Its a good problem, but I'm stacked at good young pitching. I'll have to move someone.

I was really surprised by that myself. Usually a very competitive IFA market in this league.

I find that you can almost always just add a pitcher to a staff; it just becomes more stacked

99 VsL is a little high isn't it? Never seen anyone who is not a reliever or who didn't benefit from the injury bug that high. All the other numbers I'd say you are pretty close.

Player Profile: Paco Trevino got to 97 without an injury bug, he started around 70. There's 1 or 2 guys in every league who make it to 99 without a bug, if he's already at 81 I'm confident he's getting to 99

I am curious why his pitches have not developed so far. Hell be awesome nonetheless, but I am still curious.

I brought him up during his third season. He won the Rookie of the Year and Cy Young in his first ML season. As a 20 year old.

My projections were pretty spot on. Damn I’m good.
