    While Wheeler's stuff was uneven this season, his results have been remarkably consistent, as he was 26-1 in three seasons. His ratios have been steady the last two years as well. Wheeler's best trait, aside from being a southpaw, is his athletic ability. It allows him to add and subtract from his fastball, repeat his delivery, field his position and hold runners well. His fastball and curveball were usually fringe-average pitches this season, though he dialed up more velocity (reaching 91 mph) and seemed to have a sharper curve when needed. His changeup was just better last year, a plus pitch as opposed to solid-average.
