I went back and watched Hardins last few outings just to make sure my eyes haven't been deceiving me. That 2 seam fastball with arm side run and sink, the cutter(no batter seems to read spin on it), and the breaking ball have all become plus pitches. It's like he's not even the same pitcher from last year. Amazing what a pitching coach that lets you use your strengths and not just throw 4 seamers up and breaking balls off the plate can do! Credit to Hardin he's obviously worked his butt off and the confidence he's showing on the mound is incredible!
