It seems like most of the 100 mph guys entering pro ball don’t have the control to be effective. And since MLB hitters can all hit 100mph now days, effective secondary pitches or at least the ability to change speeds effectively is going to be needed eventually. Most of the time their arm does not hold up long enough for them to learn how to pitch enough to be effective against MLB hitters. They try to come back with lesser velocity and a patched up arm, but the trouble is they never learned how to pitch because previously they could just get by on velocity alone. At that point, it is unknown if they even have the ability, all that is known is they used to be able to throw 100 MPH, so what do you have? I think we loaded up on these guys over the recent past and ended up with nothing much reaching the upper levels. Hicks is not going to come back as the guy who threw 100MPH. What else have we seen him do effectively? If the answer is not much, then we are looking at another guy who is not going to be effective against upper level hitters.
