Early thoughts on Paxton?
-
How's he doing in ranked for yall?
-
Not as good as I expected but still decent. A number 4-5
-
I’m a bit disappointed. He throws harder than I expected. I just don’t have full confidence in his pitches yet maybe.
He’s in the rotating 5 spot for me...
-
He is buns
-
What I have noticed more than anything is that he throws with his left arm.

Sorry, my answer was poor.
He is good for 4-6 innings, tops. He is not lights out, strike out stuff. I’ve only given up one run with him, but gotten out of many jams. I feel like he’s easy to pick up.
He just doesn’t feel as good as 95 Snell or Hal or Hameln. He’s kind of scary to pitch with lol.
-
Started him once, was very good for 6, then fell apart a little in the 7th. Pretty happy with him overall
-
He's been prone to the long ball for me. Throws gas but can become predictable, i hope that's just early jitters as i learn his card, if not i'll replace him. At the end of the day he was free so no loss.
-
The control and break just isn’t there. 6th inning Maddux will easily bump him from my rotation.
-
Playing on AS in WC i faced him twice and beat him both times. I'd rather face him than Hal
-
Not that good
-
he's 4-0 with 6ip in 4 starts for me so I haven't been able to get a read on him.....people quit so easily.
-
If he had a better strikeout pitch he would be great, but still solid if you mix speeds

Lolz your average game length over that 4 stretch is 1.5 innings? Lordy that's some soft mental

Yup, and it's not like I'm really good. People go down 1-2 runs and just give up.
-
He sucked on all star in my 1 start. Couldn’t find that put away pitch.

I have yet to pitch with him, but when I face him, I can also stay alive on a 2 strike count for a long time unless I get completely fooled or mess up timing.
-
Haven't used him yet. Away for the weekend so I will probably get him some run online Tuesday. I am quite surprised to hear the negative reviews though. The card looks incredible.
-
1 Start so far...
8IP, 4H, 1 ER, 10 SO -
Not so good... on all-star at least
