New Red Sox Pitcher Eager to Learn From Chapman and Hendriks 

Sean Newcomb wants to learn from the best. Is he right to look up to Aroldis Chapman and Liam Hendriks? Chapman's fastball is legendary, but is his overall impact on the game as significant as it once was? Hendriks is coming off Tommy John surgery. Is he a reliable mentor, or is Newcomb putting his faith in a question mark? What can Newcomb realistically gain from these two? Is observing enough, or does he need more active coaching? Furthermore, are Chapman and Hendriks the best models for him? Are there other pitchers, perhaps with less flash but more consistent performance, that Newcomb would benefit from studying? Who are the best pitching mentors in the league today, and why? Let's discuss. I predict Newcomb's success will depend less on mimicking Chapman's velocity and more on developing a broader skillset.
