Hagen Smith with 6bb 7K in 4IP. It’s early, but the control has been more sophomore year than junior year from him. Stuff has been electric though, so I need to practice patience.

Yep, don’t rush him.  As you said, stuff is TOR, but command has taken a huge step back.

The size of the strike zone is one of the problems with skipping levels.  A year ago he was in college now he's in AA where the strike zone is half the size.  He's throwing pitches that he's used to getting called strikes that are now balls.  He'll get it dialed in.  Just gonna need a little time to adjust.

Any clues that he’s working on some new things maybe?  They tinker down there

They’re always tinkering at those levels. Probably adding a 3rd pitch, a change up I’d guess to go with his FB/SL combo that is already elite.

He's always had reliever risk. 

Out of the big 3 in Birmingham I'd take 1 Ace, 1 mid rotation, 1 late inning reliever.  
Still hoping for 3 aces; and man the Sox are due for some good tidings after all of this.

On another matter, I assume that Caleb Freeman will be up soon.  Is there any velocity to his game?
