If you get a chance go watch him and don't listen to a thing GSon says. He had an off season last year after pitching superbly since being drafted. In his off year he still had a 3.63 ERA and a 1.269 WHIP. His K9 was down because his BB9 doubled. His H9 went up and his HR9 didn't move, and that's playing in Huntington Park. He basically lost his control and we were told that he was working on a couple of things mechanically. I'm not sure if that effected him and how badly if it so.
Look, I'm not telling you Battenfield is the 2nd coming of anything or that he should be in the ML rotation. I am saying that if he can right the ship and 2022 was an outlier then he could find himself back in the mix. If you look at his numbers and watched him pitch prior to 2022 you'd be high on this kid. There were a few games in 22 where it looked like he might be regaining his form so we'll see.
My only question is why Battenfield not on a 40 man roster? Something is up if all the teams skipped on him?
