Nick Burdi Looks To Be Back

4 years agoPittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Nick Burdi looked dominant in his first outing of the 2020 season on Sunday when he struck out all three hitters he faced, including Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and shortstop Paul DeJong. The 27-year-old hard-throwing right-hander missed all of the 2019 season after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, which can be a very tough injury to come back from successfully. He was impressing earlier this spring as well, so there is a chance that he could eventually be featured in some save situations -- the Pirates were up 5-1 in the ninth when he faced St. Louis -- especially with Keone Kela currently on the injured list. Kyle Crick is at the top of the closer committee right now, with Richard Rodriguez and Michael Feliz also in the most. But Burdi is definitely one to watch in deeper leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
