I think most people just discredit him because of his smaller frame. He has more pitches than yo, better velocity, and nasty break on his off speed stuff. If he was say 6'5'' and had a fluid delivery I think most people would be as excited as they are about nelson. Meh, to me that doesn't matter. If you can pitch, you can pitch, no matter what frame you have. I just don't see consistency from him at all. Ball flattens out and I'm not sure about his control. Comparing him to Yo is not great either. Thorny is 25, and at that age, Yo was being selected to all star games and being in the mix for a cy young. Apples to oranges. Yo never gets the credit he deserves from us.
