Chris Clarke might make his long awaited 2021 debut tonight:

It would be great if the ailing pitchers started trickling back into the system this month.

It would be great if the ailing pitchers started trickling back into the system this month.

 

Especially if other pitchers are getting close to innings limits.

If the box score is accurate and Luis Devers went all 5 today, he's now at: 14 IP, 16 K, 2 BB and 1.93 ERA as a 21-year old.

Yeah, he's interesting. Do we know anything about him scouting-wise?

 

He lists as 6'3", so he's not a short guy, might be a nice size for pitch-lab velo-development, and perhaps functioning as a starting pitcher? Devers spend two summers 2018-2019 in DSL, and was used as a starter both years. Solid K-rate, lowish BB-rate.

 

My assumption is that usually when an 18-year-old 1st-year DSL rookie is given 50+ innings and starts all the time, that usually hints that they see the guy as projectible and potentially interesting. Perhaps the flip might be that if a guy already had a good DSL season at age 18, that they'd move him up to Mesa for age 19 if his stuff looked excellent? Maybe two DSL rotation seasons implies he was a nice control guy but blah stuff?

 

16/2 K/BB thus far this season, that's not the typical Cubs wildman. Between this year and his two DSL seasons, he's 125K/35BB/133 IP. That's a good K/BB rate, it would seem. "IF" we were to get a favorable scouting report, I'd immediately be very interested.

Hudson's been stacking some good outings recently. Small sample for sure. But opportunities come for lefty relievers. His GO/AO is 4, and he's been getting some K's lately.
