With Breslow's view on velocity first, control second, it will be interesting to see how some of the fast-but-kinda-wild guys do moving forward. The farm had a lot of K's and a lot of velocity, but it also had a lot of walks. Will be interesting to see if some of the walk-risk guys will be able to curtail that next year? I've also gotten the impression that there are some guys who might often have a bunch of games where walks weren't that bad, but where scouts still don't perceive them as having especially good control/command. Brown, Little, Franklin, Thompson, Palencia, Horn, some days were off, but they each had some games where walks weren't that high. But I don't get the impression that scouting reports have seen any of them as having especially good location. Would be cool if the velocity and stuff persist, but the location gets more consistent.
Devers is kind of interesting, we've now seen several references to the Cubs thinking there might be a couple more mph of velocity in there to be developed. So he seems a little off-schedule from the velocity-then-control framework. Would be so cool *IF* his velocity did take another jump, and he had solid velocity to go with his control and change.
Maybe a reminder that whatever an overall general philosophy might seem to be, each pitcher is a very individual guy, with his own individual developmental plan.
