4 years agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson struck out the first four Boston Red Sox batters that he faced on Saturday. In total, the rookie hurler whiffed seven batters over 3.1 innings but he also struggled with his command. He allowed three runs on a walk and four hits, including a solo home run. Through two spring starts, Anderson has a K-BB of 9-2 but has allowed seven hits in 5.1 innings. In six starts at the MLB level in 2020, Anderson produced a 30% strikeout rate, a 1.2% barrel rate, and a 1.95 ERA (2.46 xERA). He's ranked by Rotoballer as the top starting pitcher prospect for 2021 redraft fantasy leagues and has a current ADP of 95.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
