A fluke, or a sign of things to come? Topic

He has good potential(overall of 85, control of 95 splits in the mid 80's, 90 1st pitch, 77 second pitch, 55 third pitch, etc) I doubt he'll reach them, because he had an injury last season(elbow tendinitis). This is my first season running this team, just wondering what I might be able to expect out of him long term.

EDIT: Whoever was running this team earlier brought him up way too early too. Only 22, and this is his third major league season.

I can't see his projections but there's no reason to believe he can't be a #1 SP. Control and vRH both in the 80's is the key, plus a nice 72 split vs. ies as well. 3 good pitches including a pitch in the 80's. Good velocity to boot. The one drawback is that he will undoubtedly get hurt multiple times in his career with that 45 health rating. But other than that, he's got the goods.
