Matthias, I also got a chance to see him pitch a game in Lakeland. His statistics are deceptive. He had a low strikeout rate but that's because he was on a strict 85 pitch limit and he needed to be efficient. Thus,he pitched to contact. They also wanted him to work on his change-up and not use his curve and slider so much. He's going to get even better once they let him loose.

I had the chance to watch Porcello vs Clearwater this year and he lives up to the hype. <BR/><BR/>During his start he had low to mid-90's heat with some sink, a decent slow curve and a change. I didn't see his slider used more than two or three times.<BR/>Surprisingly it appeared that he was pitching to contact and a quick check to his GB/FB ratio, which is 2.48, confirms this. <BR/><BR/>Another
