He wasn\u2019t a showboat type of guy, but you knew when he was on the mound, he was confident. Whether he did well or struggled, he believed in his stuff and gave everything he had. That\u2019s what I want from someone on the mound and what makes him good. I don\u2019t know how he\u2019ll react in Pinstripes, but he won\u2019t be afraid of the big moment.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
