April 5, 20215 yr He still has some mental hurdles to get over. He gives up some hard contact and then becomes afraid of the bat. He starts overthrowing and badly misses his spots then the walks start piling up. He has to learn how to forget what happened and focus on getting the next hitter out. It's called limiting the damage. It's an art of pitching that seems lost on the new age pitchers who are simply focused on throwing it as hard as they can.

This is the key to him becoming consistent. Hopefully, it comes with experience.
