Most of the improvement is credited to the extensive game-planning he does in preparation of every start. And yeah, Reyes openly clashed with Duncan's two-seam/contact philosophy when he first arrived in the big leagues, and was never able to show much command of the two-seam fastball.

All I know is that whatever it was, it didn't mesh well with Anthony Reyes... Do we know what Dave Duncan’s philosophy is? All I know is that whatever it was, it didn’t mesh well with Anthony Reyes…

Players like this are extremely important to a league like our NL only draft one and frankly, its far more interesting to find a season like Wellemeyer's last year then Roy Oswalt throwing a 3.3 instead of a 2.8. But on the subject, 191 innings of 2.9 BB/9 ball seems like a genuine change in ability. The may regress but it certainly seems more likely then not that Wellemeyer is now a better pitcher then he ever was in the past. And he did give up the homers this spring but 4 BB in 27 innings continues the nice trend into this year. Injuries worry but there's stuff to like in Wellemeyer in an NL only league.
