Efficent his entire outing, forcing hitters into pitcher leverage counts often. High leg kick with a short arm action causing the ball to get on hitters. Worked both sides of the plate well with 2 pitches for strikes. FB has some ASR getting underneath the hitters hands. Frame will fill out and he should see a velo jump.
