JD on George Kirby (Jun 17, 2026): I am underwhelmed by his K rate right now but I feel like it is an anomaly rather than a trend that we should be worried about. He has such good command (LOC+ 113) and is so around the zone that I like his ability to age very gracefully even if the stuff takes a step back. He may not have the stuff of some of the guys around him but I will take the reliability in a low end #1 / high end #2.
