Take Rafael Montero, for example. He was a beast in the minors, particularly his pinpoint control. In the majors his biggest issue thus far has been throwing strikes.

...I think this kid is a dark horse to be a beast. <br /><br />I would have liked to see a slightly higher K-rate in Savannah, but the rest of his numbers were fantastic<br /><br />Especially when you factor in his age - he was the 2nd youngest (Flexen is 6 months younger) and was 1.7 years below league average. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107443295708283998noreply@blogger.com
