Starting to get a little excited about him. He might be a rotation piece as soon as next season.

I think he has a good shot at being in the bullpen come late in the season. A lot to be excited about with him. Hoping we dont trade him.

Are we thinking he didn't go deeper because he was only on 4 days rest?

I'm guessing so. First time throwing that many pitches twice in the same week as a pro.

That sounds right. I don't think he's even pitched on 5 days rest this season and to go on 4 days was test- he passed.
