"He has all the ability in the world," pitching coach Bob Apodaca said. "He's made some very nice inroads with his mechanics. He used to throw way across his body. Now he's very close to being straight on."

Bautista has a fastball in the upper 90s, but command of it has been his biggest obstacle. He has a dependable slider, but developing the consistency to repeat his delivery will be chief among his challenges. "He gets more concerned with getting hitters out instead of what he needs to do to make quality pitches; he puts the cart before the horse in other words," said Apodaca. "So he just needs to get his thinking straightened out, playing that other game that pitchers have to do. Don't just get caught up in the outcome. Focus on 'what do I need to do to get this desired outcome? What do I need to accomplish in my delivery?'"
