BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds if Given A Rotation Spot
ANALYSIS: As a spot starter and long reliever, Yusmeiro Petit logged 117 innings with a 3.69 ERA in 2014, setting an MLB record for consecutive batters retired in the process. As a result, his name has rightly been tossed around in sleeper conversations. Petit's improved curveball and an incredibly unique delivery brought him success in 2014. He leads with his elbow during his throwing motion, obscuring the ball from the batter until the instant before releasing the pitch. This deceptiveness makes Petit a nightmare for opposing lineups, and led to a swinging strike rate of 28.5% and strikeout rate of 28.9%. Should he win the a spot in the Giants' rotation, a pitcher with Petit’s potential deserves to be drafted in all leagues.
