I'm betting Carlson never once saw a guy walk the bases loaded in the minors and then throw a first pitch slider at the knees.

You get 1st pitch fastballs in AAA.

The advanced scouts noticed how he'd attack them and clearly aren't going to let him ambush their guys.

He needs to get a new plan up there because they're still pitching him backwards and until he can punish them for it, they're not going to stop.

Isn't it great talking about a stud rookie hitter and watching the growth? We didn't get this opportunity with Oscar.

Well, I mean, we got EXACTLY this much opportunity with Oscar...
