Zack Wheeler's skill growth from last season to this season is turning him into a budding ace. Let's take a closer look at him and some other significant skill changes among starting pitchers.
Marco Estrada has a tenuous hold on a rotation spot given his HR-fueled blowups. A closer look at his in-game skills suggests that nearly all of his problems have come the third time he goes through lineups.
Jake Odorizzi has a unique reverse LH/RH skill split; he owns some of the best skills of any SP against LH bats. Odorizzi could emerge quickly with a tweak against righties.
