And the great part of him falling to us in the draft, it was the extra pick for Pujols who left for $20 million because he had his feelings hurt.
You rough up Wacha? Well done.  |
He better get his K rate back up, or this run isn't going to last.
He's FAR out pitching his peripherals right now. Maintaining a sub-2.50 ERA with fewer than six Ks/9 is not really possible in this day and age.
Wacha' fastball/changeup combo is really nice, but he still needs to develop a better and more consistent breaking pitch to reach his highest potential.
