Like every โ across the board, Oakland said Ashcraft has deception.
The ball jumps on you.
The spin is different.
So that's even including Bubba.
That's including Majinski and โ
Most of those guys have faced Keller.
So that says a lot, right?
Because we're going to watch Bubba today.
It's electric.
I think what impressed me the most yesterday kind of speaks to your question about what's the ceiling.
He shouldn't lead with this curveball.
He did a Paul Skeens and a Mitch Keller.
He said, this is my best breaking ball.
And him and Henry kind of flipped the entire game plan.
The Reds do hit the fastball well.
But what an incredible job by him seeing what is available for him that day, utilizing it a ton, and then getting deep in the ballgame because a lot of times when that happens, you don't get deep because that's not necessarily just a strike pitch.
His slider is usually his go-to off-speed in the zone.
That curveball was nasty, and I'm excited if he can continue to build on that.
This guy could flash being a one at times, but he is a two-three in a lot of rotations across the league.
Yeah, it can spiral on most people.
