Generally, those guys have to develop the breaking ball a little bit more.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

The other part of this is, I would say, is he throws his fastball and his breaking balls.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

He's got a couple of them.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

He throws them for strikes.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

That's important, too.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

So if you have kind of that foundational piece, right, that really kind of sets you up for success because he's got a fastball that plays pretty well.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

You know, again, I'm not going to say it's an amazing fastball or anything like that, but it's playable.

The Program
H4 N2K, JJ Cooper, The Kicker

This is a very encouraging start for him to see him do what he's done already because, yeah, I don't think it's crazy to think that you could be talking about him potentially fitting into the rotation.
