Right now at this stage in his career he isn't going to hit when they know they are going to pitch him.

I suspect he is going to continue to get Friday's to pitch even when Dohm comes back.

The talent is there but he is a bit more complicated because he is a unique player and is just a freshman. In time I think he will do both but that's probably going to be 2025.
I agree. Theres no reason to push him at this point. He's really good on the mound and can swing it too, and he's going to be a special player. No reason to risk his future at this point. Bring him along slowly and let him acclimate. He's one cool customer too. He's so poised and mature for a true freshman. He's got that Tom Glavine demeanor.
