Pitching machine go brrrrr
His stat line from 2023 in the minors is so strange..
He started the season ROUGH in single A. Gets shellacked on May 26, giving up 5 runs in 1.2 innings. His ERA ballooned to 7.17 after that game. IN SINGLE A mind you.
And then something happened, and he found his groove in June while still in A, only giving up 2 runs in 7.1 innings in that month.
July 1st he was promoted to Akron, where he proceeds to dominate.
I can’t think of any plausible explanation for such a sudden and drastic improvement. Maybe someone with more insider info can illuminate this for us plebs.
