have a hard time believing someone could last 6 years without throwing strikes, no matter how hard they threw

Ok maybe I need to clarify better. When I mean no strikes, I mean not consistent with strikes. Not being able to get the big strikes to control the game. Now the next question, if you spend 500k on a kid how long do you let him play? IMO, I drop 500k he can go years before I quit on him or maybe see if I can transform him into relief or a closer.

I agree with the above posts. This pitcher will half to learn to pitch. His veloicty may have gotten him the signing bonus but he will have to develop. 96-97 wont help him without a 2nd pitch to mix speeds. Any .150 major leaguer can hit a fastball if thats all he is seeing :P
