BRADENTON, Fla. - Jameson Taillon made things unfair for a lot of future prospects during his 2016 season.
Most pitchers who are returning from Tommy John surgery have a rough stretch in their first full season back from the surgery. They deal with command issues, and their stuff isn't as sharp right away. Taillon not only had sharp stuff, but had better stuff than before the surgery, using his time off to improve his game.
Most prospects struggle a bit in their adjustment to the majors when they are first promoted. Taillon's transition to the big leagues was almost flawless.
