If you look at WAR he's definitely not a top 20 pitcher, which makes sense because no one in their right mind would call him that.
BB Ref- 72nd
Fangraphs- 35th

Even if we ignore BB Ref and use Fangraphs, we still see him in a place that makes more sense. But I know that you don't like how Fangraphs calculates pitching WAR so we'll look at the top 25 pitchers in WAR on BB Ref and see if Heston belongs amongst them.
Greinke, Keuchel, Scherzer, Gray, Price, Hernandez, Kershaw, DeGrom, Miller, Arrieta, Burnett, Sale, Gibson, Kazmir, Archer, Gallardo, Martinez, Cole, Liriano, Santiago, Lackey, Cueto, Kluber, Davis, Buehrle.

I think we can objectively say that that's a pretty solid list of the 25 best pitchers in baseball this season. Do you really believe that Heston - knowing the park in which he pitches and the infield of which he pitches in front - belongs anywhere in that list? If you want to use ERA+ he's 38th, which would also make some sense.
