I agree with you. It makes no sense to me. At some point, you reward performance and throw the reports out. He has earned the right to pitch. If he has maxed out on innings/unknown injury or soreness would be my only question . 123 ip on year. I don't know about AAA but there is a giant roster at AA. Add one more or move someone up? He is 23, I think soon to be 24 so he is at the edge on age which to me might be even more of a reason. He was a tenth rounder in 2021 so was probably a below slot bonus. Maybe he is JAG but he has performed and there are a bunch of people pitching at this point who it would be a big improvement to be JAG. He evidently throws around 90 mph so doesn't fit the mold. In this day and age of the radar gun, a hard thrower gets a lot of chances but not so for guys who pitch. He was an Indiana guy LOL maybe only reason drafted?
