F.A.Q.

Answer:  Civale's chances hinge on his ability to modify his pitching strategy. If he emphasizes his stronger pitches and improves his command, he stands a good chance of rebounding and becoming a reliable fantasy starter. However, his age and track record could keep him from being a top-tier pick.

Answer:  Civale needs to increase the usage of his effective curveball and slider while minimizing reliance on his cutter and sinker. Improving pitch command and control will also be key. If he can establish better location with his breaking pitches, he could see a significant uptick in strikeouts and a decrease in earned runs.
