Those numbers:
Averaged 6.2 IP/GS in College, just under 5 IP/GS at Short-A in three starts and 5.2 IP/GS at Low-A. Almost logical in not burning his arm out even for a knuckler at 21.
The raw numbers:
His professional numbers are great; 3-2 in 15 starts over 79.2 innings and 86 strikeouts with a 2.49 ERA. Combine his college stats and he went 14-4 in 33 starts over 203.1 innings, 255 strikeouts and a 2.08 ERA while averaging 6.1 IP/GS.

Pratt was drafted out of Arizona State.
He had a rough initiation into the big leagues, but in his 2nd season he was named a starter and hasn't looked back since. Named an all-star in year 3 and lead the AL in strikeouts as a 23 year old.
2039 Spring Training, and it's just been announced that he's to miss the next 2-3 months with elbow inflammation. Hoping it's not a sign of things to come..
