Rupp On Hulse: "Justin has had great success, and this fall he's shown the ability to command the slider he worked on all of last year. With the development of that pitch, he's going to be really tough to hit, especially for right-handed batters. His changeup has also developed as a pitch to attack lefthanders with. He'll be one of the go-to guys in the late innings."
