Searching for MLB's Next Ace...

Описание: Let's dig into three of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball: Jonah Tong, Payton Tolle, and Trey Yesavage.

Each has insane results combined with incredibly distinct elements to how they move on the mound and how that affects the ball flight they create. We'll go through each of these pitchers' data, dig into some concerns around their profiles, and ultimately rank their potential impact as a starting pitcher in MLB.

One thing to note is that when pitchers get to Triple-A, they're using the MLB baseball for the first time. This can often cause oddities in the shapes they create that don't entirely line up with their shapes from prior levels. While we can often assume a small regression in shape, it's not guaranteed. Ideally, each arm gets multiple starts at Triple-A to adjust. At that point, I'd be more confident in projecting their shapes once they make their MLB debut.

Stats within this video are combined MiLB stats (all levels) unless otherwise specified.
