I love that DiPoto didn't just dismiss Hultzen as a Z draft mistake and let the problem walk. Anyone who saw him pitch at the end of the college season in 2011 had to drool over his change up. Wasn't that about the time the Phillies saw great success from a few like that on their mound? Good for DiPoto for sticking with a good kid and I hope it breeds a healthy reward!
Some pitchers hate one role over the other. My son hates coming into a game. He is used to working with each batter mentally as one piece of the line up. But not everyone gets the position they want! So...the best ones adapt. If they can duct tape Hultzen's shoulder and keep it from falling off, I bet he does great as he will be so happy to pitch, he won't care which inning it is.
