What did we learn from Nathan Eovaldi's first start?

On the surface, Nathan Eovaldi's first start of 2016 was a dud, but there are some positives to be taken from it.

Last year Nathan Eovaldi came to the Yankees with a live arm but nothing to show for it to that point in his career. At just 25 years old and already joining his third big league club, the Yankees were hoping that Larry Rothschild could play Obi-Wan Kenobi to Eovaldi's Luke Skywalker. With the ability to hit 100+ on the radar gun, the Force was clearly strong with Nate, he just needed to harness it.
