Hunter Gaddis Flirts With Perfection
3 years agoCleveland Guardians pitching prospect Hunter Gaddis continues to post impressive numbers at the Double-A level. Drafted out of Georgia State in the fifth round of the 2019 MLB Draft, the right-handed starter boasts a mid-90s fastball and an impressive 12-6 curveball with lethal looping action. His slider is equally effective, generating swings and misses with its horizontal break. Gaddis's fourth and final pitch is his changeup, and while it's probably the weakest of his four offerings, it works nicely off the heater. Gaddis's numbers were lethal as he flirted with perfection in his last outing. On May 19, the hurler lasted six innings, walking just one batter and striking out 11. He didn't quite notch the perfect game, but he did earn his fourth win of 2022. With strikeouts being such a big part of pitchers' value in fantasy baseball, expect Gaddis to have some appeal once he reaches the majors.
