2 years agoBaltimore Orioles pitching prospect DL Hall will make his major league debut and start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hall is the Orioles' 4th ranked prospect (and the 62nd-ranked prospect in all of MLB) as per MLB Pipeline. An elbow stress reaction in 2021 limited Hall to just 31 IP at Double-A Bowie where he posted a 3.13 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Hall has struggled in 2022 making this promotion somewhat surprising. In 2022, Hall has posted a 4.52 ERA, and 1.42 WHIP, to go with 45 walks and 10 homers in 77 2/3 innings pitched in 20 games (18 at Triple-A). Hall has, however, impressively struck out 126 batters. While Hall boasts tremendous strikeout potential (410 career strikeouts in the minors over 294 2/3 IP), he has control/walk issues that could limit his MLB success. Managers in redraft formats in need of help with starting pitching may want to take a flyer on Hall as a streaming option through the remainder of 2022. Just be warned there is a chance he will be used sparingly after Saturday or be headed back to Norfolk by Monday morning. His career-high in innings pitched in any given campaign is 94 1/3 (back in 2018) and he has already thrown 77 2/3 IP this year. Don't break the bank to roster him.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
