Brycen Mautz is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Brycen Mautz, SP, St. Louis Cardinals
ANALYSIS: The Cardinals picked the 6'3" lefty Brycen Mautz out of the University of San Diego last summer in the second round. After tossing 90 2/3 innings (with 129 strikeouts) in his draft year in college, the Cardinals let him rest, but he did make an impression in fall instructs.
Mautz was assigned to Single-A Palm Beach this year. Over 90 1/3 innings, he's posted a 3.39 ERA and a 98/40 K/BB, allowing just three home runs.
The left-hander uses a low-90s fastball and a plus sweeping slider as his primary pitches, sprinkling in a change and a sharp-breaking variation of his slider. His control is below average, as evidenced by his 10.4% walk rate.
VERDICT: Mautz has excellent raw stuff and deception that could allow him to work in the rotation as long as his change develops. However, he could end up as a lefty bullpen option, and that's not a pitcher that needs to be rostered right now.
