Folty has a World class arm, but a $0.05 psyche. His frail mindset is the only thing keeping him from becoming a dominant pitcher and this article shows exactly what I'm talking about.
"It would have been nice if someone from the Braves were actually there,” Foltynewicz said Monday as pitchers and catchers reported to spring training. “I took a couple of days out of my schedule to go out to Arizona and go sit there. The world knows it wasn’t a big amount of money we were fighting over, but it would have been nice if they would have been there to sit with their lawyers and tell me why we don’t deserve this contract and this raise. It would have been nice.
“I took time out of my day, and almost missed my son being born. It’s just a respect thing. But at the end of the day, we’re here (at spring training), no worries, business is business. Just focus on getting out there, getting better and getting wins for the Braves.”
The only thing he got correct was the business is business part. Other than that I see an extension of his head hanging after giving up a long one. That has to change or he will simply be a potential star that gets rattled with adversity.
