He was once one of the premier prospects in all of baseball, topping out at 5th overall following the 2011 season. He has given the Braves several seasons of solid performance on the mound, however, the 2018 season has been his worst in the majors. His walk rate may be one of the main culprits as it has ballooned over his career norms this season.
He has been a nice little run as of late for Atlanta, allowing four runs over his last 20 innings pitched. His last outing came on the 22nd in Pittsburgh against the Pirates where he allowed a run on two hits, while he walked one and struck out five over seven innings pitched.
