However, McGee featured more fastball and less breaking ball than Moore does now. Let’s look back a few years at the top 3 SO/9 leaders and the level where they finished the season.

I can't remember a 20-year old (and LEFTY at that!) who led ALL of MiLB in K/9 and BAA!!??!! Is his stuff that dominant? Can he get even better? Thanks. How good can Matt Moore be?
