Osu1456 282 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 This guy looks like the next big bullpen threat for the Indians. His arsenal includes a fastball that sits in the mid 90s and a devastating 12-to-6 curveball. There is a lot of deception in his delivery that can create a ton of swing and misses. He is showing elite command this year, an improvement on last year's numbers. He currently has a 32/3 K/BB ratio in 13.0 innings and has only allowed 5 hits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpartyOn4 760 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It takes a lot to get me to care about a minor league reliever, but those numbers are insane. He strikes out 2/3 of the batters he faces. His xFIP is negative. If he keeps doing this he’ll be in Cleveland soon, and a guy who strikes out almost everyone has at least a little fantasy value regardless of role. If he closes someday, that would be exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tesla 136 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) wow, thanks for pointing him out. those are indeed, insane numbers in AA. worth following for sure. since they brought him to AAA, he has 3 hits in 3 innings and 1 walk, but he struck out 8 of the other 9 guys. 2019 AKR EAS AA 0 0 0.00 10 0 0 0 6 6 10.0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 24 .061 0.40 0.75 2019 COL INT AAA 0 0 0.00 3 0 0 0 0 0 3.0 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 8 .273 1.33 -.-- Edited May 12, 2019 by tesla Quote Link to post Share on other sites
appleapple5 2 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Is there a possibility he comes up this season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As long as his control doesn't get completely out of whack, no reason he shouldn't be up. Also worth noting that he is not in Yahoo's database. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knuckleheads 469 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Note he's on the DL at the moment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Osu1456 282 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Currently on a rehab assignment in the AZL. 1st appearance he struck out all 3 batters he faced. Once he's back up to speed, he could make an impact come September. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBR It 3 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Got a CBS Sports update sent to me this morning, sounds like he is getting called up. Don't see him listed on Yahoo yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arrowflinger 14 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He's not in ESPN player universe.....that figures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
24/7fantasysports 316 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Fanned three of the four batters he faced today. Fingers crossed I'm able to have a successful claim on him Monday morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
