He began the 1994 Season at AA Memphis and was called up to the big leagues for two respectable (but not overpowering) starts in May. Although he had dominated at the minor league level, it was clear that he needed some finesse to compliment his impressive velocity, and the Royals kept him at AA Wichita in 1995.
