Heath Fillmyer and his interesting repertoire

It was a bag of mixed results for Heath Fillmyer in his first major league season. Coming off a successful stint in double-A last year, a trade, and a big league spring training invite, he looked to continue his rise as a prospect with a good showing in Omaha. The exact opposite of that would end up happening, as Fillmyer would show a lack of consistent command and control, something that is especially hard to get away with in the hitting confines of the Pacific Coast League. So with a 5.75 ERA at the Triple-A level, you’d figure any sort of success for Fillmyer at the Major League level would be welcomed.
