so the kid has a good fastball, but apparently, it's his slider that will get him to the big leagues. i looked for his pitch counts online somewhere, but aghast, i couldn't find them (after 4 seconds of searching). so here's his game log for the past two seasons with pitch count estimate (using the basic pitch count estimator).

tony gwynn ain't no dummy, and he looks to be doing a good job protecting this kid, or as some would say, tony is protecting his own ass from the pitch count police
But what did this so-called 'coach' of his ever accomplish to deserve naming the stadium after him?
