His Fastball is similar to Lance McCullers. Lance asked Zack Greinke about his Fastball. Zack was like it is Trash. Don't throw it. Use your other pitches. Lance throws other pitches and 2 seam fastball not a 4 seam fastball which is bad for him. I think Forrest Whitley doesn't want to throw a 2 seam Fastball because of getting scared he can get injured again. Forrest needs to be a Breaking Ball Curveball pitcher. Like Chris Carpenter was. Chris was injury prone also in Toronto. Moved to St. Louis everything changed. Threw more Curveballs and Changeups. Fastball was his strikeout pitch high up the Zone. Became #1 Starting Pitcher and a World Series Champion.
I guess he doesn't listen in adding 1st Pitch Curveball, Changeup, Fastball Strikeout Pitch. It is for his helping his Career.
probably the best possible landing spot for him because the Rays just find some way to turn pitchers like him into somewhat useable MLB arms.
Literally the last org I would want him to go to, the mf prolly gonna win the cy young next year now.
I was anticipating either tampa or Atlanta was going to pick him up. If these two orgs can't help him with his career, mind as well retire.
Every other team probably said, if the Astros can't do anything with him, then we can't either. Only Tampa can turn our crap into something not crappy.
Let him turn into Jordan Lyles, Lucas Giolito at first then maybe a Chris Carpenter 2 seasons later. Forrest Whitley must do exactly what the Rays Analytics Staff and Pitching Coaches say. More Breaking Balls Curveball, Changeup and more 2 seam Fastball.
Looking forward to what cash considerations can bring to this team... I've heard he's a good teammate... players love cash....
