4 years agoToronto Blue Jays pitcher T.J. Zeuch is under consideration for a starter's role with the club, according to comments from both general manager Ross Atkins and pitching coach Pete Walker. The tall right-hander has seen his standing with the organization improve due to a spike in velocity. In recent outings, his sinker has been up in the 95-96 mph range. It sat around 92 mph over the past two seasons at the MLB level, although he's spent most of his time in the minor leagues. Zeuch can overpower hitters with his sinker and he generates a well-above-average ground-ball rate (53% career rate). Originally viewed as a reliever entering 2021, his fantasy value is hurt by a lack of strikeouts.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
