The problem is, in the SEC, you don’t get alot of time to develop unless you are a true freshman. CB seemed like a good teammate with a high ceiling but he was coming from juco AND needed some time. I hope he goes to a smaller school where he can pitch a lot, get into the pros and develop.

Had hope for him, but he just couldn't get it together this season. Wish him the best and hopefully oak fills his slot with a proven arm.

I just didn’t see the raw talent that others we used more have.
I didn’t either. He could get his FB up to 95-97, but there was zero movement on it, and he had a lot of trouble locating it.

He was given tons of opportunities to settle in, and he had a couple decent outings in midweek games, but he was just one of those guys that was going to eventually run into trouble

Good velocity, but never could dial it in consistently to compete at this level.
Could be a lack of proper coaching....could be the inability of focus and control on his part.
I wish him well.

Or it could be the Peter principle
