Qualifications for a MLB rookie: not more than 45 days on a major league roster from opening day to August 31, inclusive, and had not exceeded 90 official at-bats or 45 innings pitched.http://www.yesnetwork.com/announcers/art…
good mechanics can throw at least a 89 mph fastball, if he cant bring that heat he has to have some wicked breaking pitches.
He might have apeared, but not at least 45 days on the roster. So he has been on the roster this year over 45 days, so he is eligible this year, but not next.
