Interesting Take on Liam "The Dream" Doyle

Yep, just came up with that nickname on my own. You're welcome. Most interesting tidbit was his k% as compared to Chase Burns.
“He finished second in the NCAA Division I in strikeouts, thanks in large part to hitters whiffing on the fastball 40 percent of the time they swung at it, higher than Chase Burns’ whiff rate on his fastball in his draft spring (36 percent). A team could take him in July and either try to call him up as a reliever in September if they’re contending, given the way the fastball played when he was starting, or more likely (and maybe more responsibly) put him on the same path that Burns or Paul Skenes took, eyeing a June-ish callup next year.”
