The weird thing is his profile is more a testament to being "good random" than most other pitchers.
37% fastball
26% slider
25% change
11% curve
Throws all pitches to all quadrants. 90 percentile expected wOBA... despite avg velo & way below avg spin rates.

Obviously, there is more to it as he has been good at executing what he needs to do. But, Trevor Bauer had talked about starters needing to be more random in their pitch selection and it appears Plesac was listening.
