He probably won't be the ROY but he did plenty to be proud of. I think his being taken off his normal rotation spot to keep his innings down messed with his preparation and weakened his arm a bit. He will have a better idea of what to expect and what kind of condition he needs to get into to handle a bigger workload next season. He's a sharp young man and he'll do the right things, including mastering the change-up. Pineda had very good debut season. He probably won’t be the ROY but he did plenty to be proud of.
