Yeah, he did. He became one hell of a pitcher under yankee instruction, though. Chances are, if he is as hard a worker as the scouts say he is, then he'd be just as good through college instruction. Think about it, 6'10" at 18 and still growing with control of a high 90s fastball, a plus plus curve and plus change. He is going to look a whole lot better than big ugly did in pinstripes, I'll tell you.

He would dominate college like nobody else since Prior did. Here is his small sample short season #s.

that is against the best of the 06 college class. Nasty shit. And this was with less velocity and less height/weight than he has now.
