Pretty good Jake. Happy to see someone wrote about this. Bb/9 and BB% are a huge part of the game today with a large percentage of pitchers selling out for Velo over command. Every pitch is the right pitch if you have the ability to locate it and you believe in it with conviction. I have seen several of these kids throw several times each. Red Sox Analytical and scouting team definitely set out to draft command over Velo to a degree. One of the biggest adjustments for kids like this when they drafted is to learn what works best for them in what pitch sequence. So it will be interesting in a few years to see where these kids are at progression wise and what levels they have conquered. Good stuff
