Early thoughts on Paxton?
-
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.

How's he doing in ranked for yall?
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
-
I havent used him much yet but in my first start with him he threw three no hit innings with five or six strikeouts before the guy rage quit. In my second start he threw a complete game shutout with 11 more strikeouts and one hit allowed. I'm a fan of the card so far.
-
I pitched him last night for the 1st time in RS on AS and although he got the win, I wasn't that impressed. I took Wood out of the rotation to pitch him and I think Wood has more movement on all of his pitches.
