Since the move, this franchise has never drafted and developed a pitcher who has made 30 MLB starts 3 years in a row except for Jordan Zimmermann, and he was an efficient low walk pitcher in the minors. Rizzo either has to go, or accept that he can’t develop power pitchers. All these first round pitchers get hurt, have serious control issues, or both. I’d stop drafting them and focus on offense. If you want power pitchers they’ll have to be FAs like Max. Instead, get guys to be efficient and stay in the zone even if it means fewer K’s. And these types of pitchers don’t need to be drafted in the first round. Cant have a “reboot” by repeating a failed strategy. We have no pitching prospects, just guys who’ve struck out a few single A batters.
