Colome's Hat Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It's an insanely small sample size (2 games) but could this guy adequately replace Crochet in the Bullpen this year? I've been impressed. What is this guy's story? He's been impressive so far, both in the first two games and in Spring Training. And I feel like finding a diamond in the rough can happen for the Bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackowiakYakYak Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Discount signing in the 10th round of the 2018 draft. He was a slightly old senior who had walk issues during college. Last season he split time between AA and AAA pitching a little over 20 innings at each. AA had his walk rate about 5 per 9 and then in AAA it was at 2 per 9. To me that indicates that he can be prone to losing his feel for long stretches of time. I wouldn't pencil him into any spot and would operate assuming we need to buy a LHP at the trade deadline. He would be the last of the depth relievers I'd send down as other players recover from injury, but I'd want three months of superb work before we can rely on him to take a playoff roster spot.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 He's been good for a while. His slider is a legit weapon. I don't know if I would go so far to say he's a comparable replacement for Crochett, but I think he has a shot at having a career in a major league bullpen.
