Koufax had to develop in the majors since he never was in the minors. He was also used very sporadically the first 4 or 5 years in his career. That changed in 1961 when he received regular turns on the mound.
He had great stuff in college at Cincinnati, but was wild. The arm was always there, it wasn't the stadium that made Koufax great.
