Or how good a pitcher can get with increased velocity, further developed secondary pitches, etc. How about a Cardinal prospect in 2017 who had an ERA of 4.31 and WHIP of 1.428 at Springfield? Gave up a hit per inning and struck out only 106 in 125 innings. Wasn’t considered a top pitching prospect in the season?
Was that Sandy?
Yes. He was ranked the 6th best prospect in our system.
The 24th best prospect that season was Zac Gallen.
