I'm not sure about this. I'd have to go check box scores, but his pitching W-L record has been impacted, often, by lack of run support and sub-par bullpen performances. He could well have had an additional 7-8 wins over his short career which would push his W-L percentage to an exceptional .700. You look at him and he has this boy-ish look on him all the time that says "I want to play as much as possible." If he gives up pitching, which I hope he does not, I wonder if he also becomes a field position player. He's such a great athlete that it would be hard to imagine that they wouldn't be able to find a spot for him off the mound.
