I'm not a fan. He basically only has 2 speed differentials and lacks a strikeout pitch. He's not hard to read either. Wish I could tell you something else, because I saw your post that you locked him in. But I'm keeping it real, he's not good.
Edit: let me rephrase that last sentence. Maybe he can be decent, but he is most definitely not worth the stubs that he is going for. There are free FS cards that are better than him.
If only he had a slider

It took me a couple games to get used to his delivery with that leg kick of his but I’ve become really good with him. Very accurate & solid pitcher. I’ve only given up 1 run my last 3 starts with him.

I'm really needing him to be a mainstay in the rotation

Just be patient with him. Allow yourself 4 or 5 starts before you judge him....That’s one of my biggest problems with this forum is it seems people will use a pitcher ONE time & if he gets lit up they immediately sell him & come on here blasting about how bad he is. And sometimes that’s not the case, Sometimes you just play people that are amazing hitters. That’s why I always say give yourself several outings before making a ruling. Good luck.

He has great control with all his pitches. Game was on hof and even had 5 strikeouts in a row at one point. Sinker and cutter has more movement than kluber. When my opponent did make contact it was weak. Only thing I don’t like is his stamina. Wish it was higher so I could go CG easily but I can understand why (prospect card). Obviously this was one game, but by him dotting it I feel like he is a must have at this point in the game

Well, i try to mix the sinker, cutter, and curve; the advantage with this pitcher is the 99 break and 99 velocity, so you can confuse the opponent with velo and breaking balls.

Curve and cutter move a lot? Worried about the lack of a slider and cutters catching a lot of the plate

Would be better if he has a slider, but the cutters inside the zone, at least for me has been solid, and the curve works fine. The weird wind up helps, because that leg doesn´t allow to watch clearly the release point.
I forgot to mention the change, that can be effective too. Also every opponent is different, so you need to realize what combo works better, but the combination i said, at least (for now) works for me.
I just hope you can find effectiveness with him.
