After being drafted in the 8th round in 2023, he’s now getting his big league shot as a bullpen arm, despite a few wild pitches and walks. He’s even thrown three innings in a start — his longest outing ever — but don’t expect him to be a starter. This is a major leap for a guy who’s earned every step of the way.
