Will be interesting to see Jack Flaherty's pitch mix tonight. 5 CLE starters have negative run values vs the fastball and 6 have -RVs vs the slider. Just 2 have -RVs vs the curve. Jack has leaned on the slider (29%) more than the curve (21%) the past 3 starts; that may continue

Getting comped to Corey Seager on draft day can't be easy on anyone. But despite an aggressive assignment to Low A to begin the season, Bryce Rainer did himself no favors w/ an excellent '25 campaign: .288/.383/.448, 13.4 BB%, 22.1 K%, 5 HR, 134 wRC+ He also hit a ball 112 MPH

Kelvis Salcedo had a 4.68 ERA in 75 IP in the DSL from '23-'24. He got assigned to the FCL in '25 before a promotion to Low A. In '25, 952 MiLB pitchers had at least 60 IP. Salcedo ranked 14th in ERA 22nd in xFIP 29th in K-BB% 2nd in BAA 1.83 ERA/2.81 xFIP, 23.6 K-BB%, .133 BAA

With an 8.64 ERA in 25 MiLB IP last season (mostly in the Complex League), Moises Rodriguez entered the '25 season w/ a lot on the line. Now he may be DET's top RP prospect. '24: 8.64 ERA/5.02 xFIP, 21.7 K%, 14.2 BB%, .300 BAA '25: 2.84 ERA/3.23 xFIP, 24.4 K%, 6.2 BB%, .213 BAA

Due to a 13.1 BB% in '24, Andrew Sears entered '25 w/ some reliever risk. He responded by cutting that walk rate nearly in half, + having one of the best seasons of any DET MiLB SP: '24 (A): 2.51 ERA/4.29 xFIP, 26.4 K%, 13.1 BB% '25 (+A/AA): 3.49 ERA/3.31 xFIP, 26.3 K%, 7.7 BB%

Coming into '25, Eduardo Valencia played a total of 22 High A games and 1 AA game in 7 years in the DET org. He started '25 in AA and was so good he got promoted to AAA: '24 (A): .249/.326/.366, 9.1 BB%, 18.6 K%, 102 wRC+ '25 (AA/AAA): .311/.382/.559, 9.9 BB%, 19.9 K%, 158 wRC+

Izaac Pacheco spent parts of '22, '23 and '24 in High A, so it had to be tough for him to learn he'd start '25 in High A also. He responded by improving across the board: 24: 224/299/348, 9.3 BB%, 33.8 K%, .124 ISO, 94 wRC+ 25: 258/388/499, 17.4 BB%, 28.9 K%, .240 ISO, 155 wRC+

Trei Cruz spent all of '23 + '24 in AA, so it had to be tough for him to learn he'd start '25 in AA also. He responded by improving across the board and earning a promotion to AAA: '24: .260/.342/.396, 11.1 BB%, 25.5 K%, 115 wRC+ '25: .279/.411/.456, 18.1 BB%, 21.5 K%, 148 wRC+

As a former 13th rounder, expectations weren't high for Lucas Elissalt heading into '25. All he did was post the 30th best ERA (and BAA) among 539 MiLB pitchers to toss 80 IP in '25; while being significantly younger than the league avg. 2.51 ERA/3.61 xFIP, 17.5 K-BB%, .190 BAA

As a former third overall pick, Max Clark has dealt with some incredibly high expectations already in his short career. So far, he's met them + he continues to improve: '24: .279/.372/.421, 12.4 BB%, 19.2 K%, 9 HR, 132 wRC+ '25: .271/.403/.432, 17.6 BB%, 16.9 K%, 14 HR, 148 wRC+

Known for his strong hit tool/plate discipline, power was the main question mark for Kevin McGonigle heading into '25, after hitting just 5 HR in '24. He answered that question: 24: 309/401/452, 14.0 BB%, 8.5 K%, 5 HR, 145 wRC+ 25: 305/408/583, 14.9 BB%, 11.6 K%, 19 HR, 182 wRC+
