Kid has big time strike outs. You need that in a closer.
He is 4-1 with a 1.69 era. 37 innings pitched with 50k's. Possibly he even can increase the K rate going only one inning at a time. I know he is a starter prospect but we dont exactly need that this year. And much like Oakland's Miller we can stretch him back out next year for a starter slot when Burnes leaves for the Yankees.
Worth a try? When the other route is to trade for an elite closer and give up a Kjerstad and more. Let the kid see if he can get some outs.
