Will Eovaldi Perform?

Can Eovaldi perform to his potential?

             Being the main player in the trade that sent Martin Prado and David Phelps to the Marlins in exchange for Nathan Eovaldi, Garrett Jones, and Domingo German, can Eovaldi turn things around and realize his potential to be a number 2 starter and possibly even an ace. He has been compared to Angels ace Garrett Richards who turned things around last year going 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA. If Eovaldi can make that same change then the rotation will be a big turn around and could be the best in the division. Eovaldi's fastball averages mid to high 90's, his change-up and cutter are mainly the problem and hitters bat over .450 against them. His slider is his best pitch and hitters bat .214 against it. The main reason Garrett Richards was able to have his success was he eliminated the use of his change-up which was the pitch that Eovaldi said he will continue to use. If Eovaldi wants to perform to his potential he will need to make changes to his approach.
