It’s hard to come up with more superlatives for Aaron Civale. At this point, the only worry you have with him is that it’s all a ruse; that one of these days soon a start of his is going to go sideways and he’ll revert to looking like a rookie. Which will happen, eventually. It happens to everyone. But for now, we have a young guy with a nice little repertoire, with high-level peripherals, who isn’t allowing hits all that much and is striking out a hitter an inning.
He does get hit hard sometimes, though. Hitters are good, too, and he does dance on the edge of doom at times with his attack of the upper part of the zone.
