Oh man, I wondered what the big deal was about him and as a righty he is a pretty good prospect but what does he throw as a lefty, 80? Everyone's pummeling his left-handed pitching.

And he has zero control. If you can't even get lefties out throwing LH what in the hell are you doing. AND he Why does he throw a single pitch LH to RH hitters?????

He should be developing pitches throwing RH to get LH hitters out like change ups and splitters. I guess the minor league pitching lab has turned into the Wuhan Lab as well.

Of course. They can switch every other pitch.

I think I read that he has to stick with the same arm for an entire AB.

Whatever the case, if he can throw from both sides each innjng that means he could easily pitch complete games with regularity and save the bullpen (provided he isn't getting shelled).

That would be an advantage but what you put in Parrens is a huge factor. Also there is more to it than arm fatigue. There is also overall fatigue/exhaustion. There is a cardio aspect to pitching. A pitcher can be "gassed" even though his arm is fine.
