Sedlock was told by the Orioles' coaching staff to take it slow this spring and work on developing one pitch at a time, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo reports.
Asking a first-round pick to take his time developing is no surprise, but the team made it a point to the No. 6 prospect that there's no need to rush. "It took a lot of getting used to. For me, with my competitive nature, I want to be at my best every single time I step on the mound and have my full arsenal," Sedlock said. "Once I was told what I needed to work on, I stayed within myself and realized that if things are going to go the right way this year, I'm going to have to work on one thing at a time." Sedlock said he spent the first couple weeks of camp just working on his fastballs while ignoring all off-speed pitches. The 6-foot-4 right-hander projects to be a mid-rotation starter in time, but the journey is just beginning for the 21-year-old. In dynasty formats, Sedlock is definitely worth putting on the watch list.
