What is Cleveland Indians SP Zach Plesac’s celling and how does he reach it?

The 2021 season has had highs and lows for Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac. He’s shown flashes of being one of the better pitchers in the American League, but he’s had rough outings that have ballooned his ERA. So the question is, what exactly is his ceiling and what will it take for him to get there?

Plesac is arguably the second best pitcher on the Cleveland Indians staff, but he does face stiff competition from starter Aaron Civale who is surprisingly similar to him.
