Edwin's definitely got the stuff to be more than a 5th starter. Just gotta throw some more strikes with his offspeed stuff and he could be Peavy Part II.

 

constantly injured?

The problem with the offspeed stuff wasn't that he wasn't throwing strikes with it, it's that for the first couple innings it was hittable offspeed stuff, it wasn't sharp or breaking hard. When the fastball is around the plate, it's not going to matter if the slider drops off the table at the end because they have to gear up to hit the 96 mph heat. THe problem with the slider was it wasn't sharp and they were looking for it.

That's what I wanted to see!

 

Was a very good first outing for Jackson... He has more room for improvement thou.

 

- He only had 1 walk ( which was the last hitter he faced in Caberra )

- He was constantly ahead of the count at a clip of 0-2

- He battled back and avoided the big inning. One inning he got 5 outs. Many of the hits against him where really week bloopers and such.

- He didn't have many fly ball outs and did a good job of keeping the ball on the ground.

 

He came a long way in a short time with his command but it can get better still.

His off-speed stuff at times broke back into the strike zone and he left it up a couple of times... This is where he just got lucky tonight.

 

I must say... as the game progressed - his off-speed stuff was located down more often and was used more effectively as an out pitch.

 

We saw a great start here guys - but don't be surprised to really see him blossom.
