That was Mize who threw the no-hitter in his first start in AA. Faedo basically came in overweight and his stuff and declined in his first season. He survived a in A+ but with concerns about his K rate and velocity, and he got rocked as soon as he got to AA. He was dropped way down on most top Tigers prospects lists after his first season. His Velo actually bounced back a bit in his second season and he performed solidly in AA.

Past history is not really a way of knowing either.

Im saying it's unlikely he's striking out so much because he's too aggressive at the plate. Players who have plus walk rates are almost never over aggressive chasing pitches out of the strike zone.

His walk is 11%, so his strikeout rate being high isn't because he's being too aggressive. He's either not aggressive enough and takes too many strikes, or he is swinging and missing a bit much, or some combo of the both.
