Best changeup: Garrett Hill, RHP, Tigers

Hill is more about deception than power, an approach he has ridden to a 2.54 ERA in three pro seasons and a 1.98 mark with 21 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings in the AFL. He consistently fools hitters with his changeup, which sits in the low 80s and combines fade and depth.

That is bold.

I know Wentz is their most advanced pitching prospect at the moment, but I'm a little surprised at how highly he is regarded around here.  I am not a prospect hound by any stretch and I am not saying people are wrong, but is his probability of success in the majors really that high?  I've always regarded him as one of those guys Bill LaJoie was talking about when he said "you need 10 top pitching prospects to produce two good major leaguers".

Agree 100%....the salivating about Wentz has been baffling

Wentz was lights out when the showed up at Erie in 2019. It was only a handful of games but he dominated so that got people charged up. In his come back from TJ he was putting up good BA against but still hadn't gotten his walk rate back down where it needs to be as the season ended. But command is the usually the last thing that comes back, so we'll see.

if the Tigers don't protect Hill, he'll be eligible for the Rule 5.  I would think a team would take a flyer on him, especially based on his AFL performance.

I count 7 guys on the 40 today I don't think would be losses so I'd be willing to protect some new guys.

That's why I like his chances to win the 5th starter spot out of ST...

His prospects, IMO, are much, much higher than Garrett Hill's...

But that's just me...

If we ever do that adopted Tiger thing again,  I'm going with Hill.
