It's Time to Start Worrying About Dasan Hill

[TopGunn#22]

I would love it if Hill was pitching better.  But while I do have some degree of worry about his lack of control/command at this stage of his career, I'm not anywhere near giving up on him.  I still think he's our future Ace. 

I agree with bean5302.  I'm more worried about Hunter Townsend, the Cedar Rapids pitching coach.  He's got a sports car in his garage but he can't find the keys.  There is more pressure on him to fix Dasan Hill's control issues than anybody.

Too be fair, he had a some great starts during that stretch I wrote about in the article. However, young pitchers can be fickle. I think he is going to be fine.

I've no problem with your saying Hill was hot. That's reporting, and he was.

I was reacting to now getting a declarative statement from someone telling us that it is time to be concerned. We weren't just told that Hill has struggled the past while, but that we should be "worried," as if we can't decide on our own whether we should be "worried."

I get it -- it's the internet and declarative statements lead to clicks. But I'd rather just have the reporting and come to my own conclusions.

Surprised at all of the blowback on this article as it's a pretty legitimate concern when your top pitching prospect cannot throw strikes.

Maybe he was the TD's consensus pick for top pitching prospect, but he wasn't mine.

It's concerning I guess, it's not good, and you'd always prefer that he be destroying high A rather than vacillating between loading up the bases and striking everyone out, but he's still young and inexperienced and we're only in June. I'm more concerned about Soto's inability to get on the field, TBH.
