Even if he becomes a great reliever, that's not the best outcome for the #5 pick. Especially when the guy in front of him won AL ROY and the guy behind him is on his way to hitting 30 homers.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd be hugely disappointed with that. Especially considering all the guys they passed up.

Yeah that's turning out to be a loaded draft.

Hagen Smith has some nasty, nasty stuff. Why is this guy not a starter?

Still could be.

See his walk numbers and how many guys he starts walking past his 1st inning of work.

give it time. his role for now is key middle late guy on a playoff contender.

Early season injury kept him from getting stretched out. I expect him to start in the future.

He walks almost as many batters as innings he pitches. He would be an epic failure as a starter. He’s not magically going to have crisp control and command.

This.

just a bad pitch to swing at on the first pitch

These failed opportunities are going to bite us

Good lord Braden.

(Just messing with you)

lol

But seriously, it gets packed there.

Can't fall behind 3-1. He's gotta get ahead so he gets guys to swing at that slider. His fastball doesn't play as well if he's gotta throw it in a fastball count.

awful play for MLB RF.

Hagen at 92-93? Oof, I hope its for control reasons but still...

Damn chase give it a better effort.

Lazy defense this inning

doesn't matter who Hagen faces, if they decide to just take 4 pitches at any point they'll likely draw a walk, dude is all over the place

Dang walks.

lol, OOTP decision. I don't hate it.
