Hans Crouse Mixes Deception With Stuff
6 years agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Hans Crouse, the team's top prospect and No. 84 overall per MLB Pipeline, possesses a riding mid-90s fastball and a wipeout slider. He also gets animated on the mound in order to disrupt hitters' timing at the plate. The 20-year-old right-hander posted a 2.47 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 10.2 K/9 in 13 starts between Low-A Spokane and Single-A Hickory in 2018. He'll need to prove himself for a few more years on the farm before getting a chance in Texas.
