Totally happy to share that information here and glad that you asked. It seems that he has probably been a bit lucky since being traded as it is his lowest BABIP thus far. Over the course of his time in the minors his BABIP is just about right at average. His BB/9 to K/9 don't look very promising. Then again, according to our scouting director, his stuff is expected to develop quite a bit still and be at least above average by the time he fully develops. It should be noted that I may have rushed him up to A-ball too quickly and his morale was often quite low during his time in our system. So perhaps the change of scenery will help him reach his true potential.
