Because his game will not work the same way if he can't hit four edges of the strike zone.

Sabermetrics are about analyzing results over tools, and Hultzen's K/BB was crazy in major college - without a big fastball.
I don't believe for a second that he was consistently 92-95 -- if he had a big fastball, the scouts would have had that on the marquee. All the scouts ever did was complain about his velo. Now you're saying he was really James Paxton, but that went under the radar? :- )
The motion looks like 85. He's got ordinary velo, and that K/BB came from somewhere. Where?

There are some things that scouts get wrong and some they get right. They weren't going to have Cole's velocity wrong. They weren't going to have Ackley's HIT skill wrong.
It's not feasible that they have Hultzen's command or change wrong. The cross-checking, the details on the drop and fade, and the videos rule that out.
