3 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals top pitching prospect Matthew Liberatore performed well in his matchup versus Orioles top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez on Thursday. The big left-hander tossed six innings and allowed four hits, one run, five walks to go along with five strikeouts to record a quality start. Although the walks weren't ideal in this matchup, it was the most he has allowed in a game this season and he has only allowed 12 free passes throughout 40 innings on the year. For the season, he is 3-3 with a 3.83 ERA to go along with 46 strikeouts. Liberatore possesses good command on the hill and has also developed a slider this season to go along with a good curveball and plus fastball. Managers in all formats should consider stashing the lefty and there is a true chance that he will make his big-league debut in 2022.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
