Hultzen comps:
Upside: Lefty Carl Pavano. Very similar velocity, extreme strikethrowing with above-average command. Plus changeup, okay slider. If Pavano were lefty, he'd be pretty good (especially in Safeco)
Dowside: Brett Cecil (2010). Similar toolset to Hultzen. LHP. Plus changeup, average slider, average command, above-average control. Broke down this season with velocity and command.
Most similar current prospect: Mike Minor. Minor throws about as hard, maybe slightly harder. He has a plus change, but also an above-average curve. Slightly better prospect, but very similar.
