Hopefully he can become a building block. Sounds like last year was a healthy learning step.

Could easily fill Mikolas/Fedde/Pallante's slot.
He may not be a FOTR starter but should be a #4/5 upgrade over those three, bottom of MLB starters.

He's the type of guy breaking in to the league who's going to give you a lot of 5 or 6 inning starts with 9 or 10 K's. Maybe some 3 and 4 inning high pitch count duds to go with it.
The upside is undeniable as he hopefully matures.

If he even comes close to being that type of starter C-U, then he'd move up to being a solid #3.
(but I think your K total could be a bit high once he hits MLB).
Let's hope he stays healthy and becomes that quality #3.

I couldn't listen to the video, as I am at work. Does it say anything about whether or not he will have any type of surgery this off-season? I ask because that was a point of discussion earlier this season.

74 walks in 99 innings says he’s his own worst problem.

Do you have any answers for his wildness in 2025, Craviduce?

Come on, Craviduce. You’re our minor league guru.
Why did Mathews lose his control in 2025?

He’s yet another Cardinals pitching prospect that had a major arm injury before reaching his potential. In his case, he has a bum shoulder. Many pitchers never regain their form after a shoulder injury, and most shoulder injuries can’t be repaired by surgery.
The Cardinals org attributed the shoulder injury to a mechanics issue, so they’ve likely had him change his mechanics to try to avoid him blowing out his shoulder completely. That would lead to a greatly increased walk rate. I’m skeptical of his prospect status, as pitching prospects with bum shoulders rarely make it.

Thanks very much, zoiks. Good info.
