Minneapolis – It’s not like he’s trying to prove anything to anybody. The Detroit Tigers’ Bruce Rondon has always believed in himself and the gift that’s been bestowed in his powerful right arm.
The issue has always been consistency. Being able to harness the power, knowing when to unleash it and where to locate it. And, more importantly, gaining the same trust in the slider. The process for Rondon was never about proving he had the talent to succeed in the big leagues. It was about learning how to pitch.
Recent evidence would suggest he’s getting it.
