So far Aaron Hernandez is still suffering from inconsistency that befalls many young pitchers. However, the LA Angels have seen this before and are not overly concerned with Hernandez’s early struggles.
“Aaron has great stuff, he just needs to get confidence to use the pitches he has to induce weak contact on a more consistent basis,” 66ers manager Ryan Barba said. “Just like all the guys do down here, they have to trust the process. I believe Aaron will figure it out.”
Hernandez has shown signs of dominance through the inconsistency. In his last eight starts Hernandez has given three runs only once and has struck out at least five batters in all but one of those starts.
