How's he doing in ranked for yall?
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...

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.
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.

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.
