Astros assistant general manager Ricky Bennett is concerned about the development of Lo's secondary pitches, particularly his curveball. "That's part of his development; he can't just continue to pump fastballs," Bennett said. "He can get away with it in A ball and AA, but when he gets to the big leagues, he's going to have to be able to throw the breaking ball over for strikes in any count."

2010

Lo's first taste of professional ball went very well, capped off with a selection to represent Taiwan on the World Team at the Futures Game. Lo's strikeout totals have been good (53 in 40.2 innings), but he is still walking far too many hitters. The Astros are concerned about the development of his secondary pitches, particularly his curveball. At 23, he has some time to develop, but right now he projects as a middle-of-the-bullpen guy and not a future closer.
