This is how I feel as well. I had a 31-year-old Brian Matusz become the ace of my staff for half a year, and then over the course of the second half of the season and into the next year, gradually went back to being a #5 starter.

The case of Oliver Parkinson there is very surprising, and that's what I'd call a true late bloomer. But for the OP's Luka Puzitsky, I'd have to see more than a single season of good numbers.
