I just don't see any way Hunter Brown is not handed an opportunity in a starting role next year.
I think he needs to work with frambers mental guy. He seemed to lose focus and get rattled in big situations at times. He has the stuff to do well, just needs consistency
We barely saw him pitch last year. Not sure how we can make that determination.
The only struggle that I remember he had was in Yankee Stadium on a close out game. (I absolutely could be forgetting another moment). That was the concern some of us had when the talk was that he would be on the roster when only pithing 1 and a half months in the big leagues and not in a really hostile environment.
He did fine in at a hostile Seattle in a 0-0 game in extras.
As someone who was on the skeptical side of having a rookie with hardly any MLB pitching experience come in during big moments in a post season run, I thought he overall did great and got some really good experience for next year.
He's going to be fine, and again, unless he has an absolutely dreadful spring training where the team thinks it's something more than a bad start, I want him starting the year with the team.
