Watched Gallardo's first televised appearance. His curveball is legit. The FB is average at this point 92-93, decent control but missed his spots often. But that curve, damn. And, obviously, he's got plenty of time to develop and add velocity.

 

Gallardo wasn't given his promotion based solely on his pedigree. He earned it with a line of 12 IP, 7 H, 1 BB, 9 K, 1.50 ERA, .163 BAA and a 0.67 WHIP in the month of August. He turns 18 in a week and should lead the rotation in Eugene next summer.
