No need to rush with Butler, they’ve been smart to work with him and keep his progress steady as opposed to quick.

But, he pitches to contact a lot, his heavy pitches are made to induce grounders. It’s where he lives, and it’s also where he could possibly die.

That’s a ton of contact. You need to be an extraordinary contact manager to survive that in the long run
