I don't think they'd be fast tracking him through the minors the way they are if they had absolutely no plans on him being an option in the majors this year. It's only May and he's already gone from Rome (2 starts) to Mississippi (3 starts) to now Gwinnett (2 starts). I've never seen a starting pitcher move through the minors this quickly. He's also still only 20 years old and they're moving him up this quickly.

You might be right. But I don’t know where his spot in the rotation would be right now. Assuming Soroka is ahead of him, where does he fit?

I don't know. But I don't think they wouldn't be rushing him through the system like they are if they didn't have plans for him.

That's the thing though, what exactly is it? There's nothing in his advanced stats that you can point to and say "this is different from last year and that's why he's not getting the results this year." It's just weird.

I feel you.  dumb question?  HAs Minter changed alot since no more sticky stuff?

Nope. The change has come this year. They said in spring training he was having trouble adjusting to the pitch clock. But his pitches and what they're doing doesn't add up. One thing I will point out is he's throwing his cutter a lot more this year than last year so that could be the issue.
