5 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo pitched two scoreless innings in his first start of Spring Training. Luzardo allowed a single and struck out two while sitting between 95-97 MPH with his fastball in an impressive debut for the top-prospect. A's manager Bob Melvin already said Luzardo and fellow rookie A.J. Puk don't have a specific plan in place to limit their innings so expect Luzardo to pitch close to a full starter's workload this season. While Luzardo is one of the top pitching prospects going into 2020, he also comes with a considerable amount of hype which is baked into his ADP of 138. Expect that number to climb if Luzardo continues to impress in the Cactus League.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
