Love the breakdown here. Tons of insightful stuff.

I've watched Connolly Early's first two starts -- nasty stuff. Changeup has had 38% whiff rate like you mentioned. Then sinker and curveball at 37%. Probably won't last but fun to watch. Peyton Tolle has also been electric in majors so far too... might be fading as a starter down the stretch this year but K'd side in relief last night.

Interesting you have Roki at 93... I feel like I'd take him over a lot guys above him?

Thanks!

As for the Roki ranking, I really didn’t know what to do with him. In my perspective, he is still dealing with a nagging injury that kept him with some pitchers rehabbing at the bottom of the list. On the other hand, his last AAA start had him hitting 100 MPH. I just wished he graduated before hitting the IL so he wouldn’t be a headache to rank, haha
