I think that is an accurate assesment. The question is why did his velocity decline? As I saw in yesterday's game, he did touch 93 or 94 thirteen times, but gradually lost a few MHP as the game went on. Was that because his arm got tired real quick, or because he over threw the first few innings?
I also wonder if him batting has taken a toll on him physically? He did bat in the game, and got on base 2 times running the bases. I also have read a few articles stating that he takes batting practice on his off days.
I guess we will know next seaosn when he is 100% into pitching and not batting at the AA level.
