BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: June
ANALYSIS: John Means is injured again, and it could be a lengthy absence. While the team does have Cole Irvin on the roster, who has pitched well this year and can step in a starter's role, they could begin to look at two starters - Cade Povich and Chayce McDermott - in Triple-A.
Povich, a lefty, has had a strong start to his Triple-A season at this point, posting a 2.08 ERA across 47.2 innings with a 34.2 percent strikeout rate and a 9 percent walk rate.
Cade Povich tonight:

The fastball looks good and sits 91-93 mph with a good arm-side run. The mid-70s curveball shows incredible depth, having 60-65 inches of drop regularly with 10 inches of sweeping action. The mid-80s changeup showed nice depth and run, while also featuring a sweeper and a cutter.
It is a true five-pitch mix, and while he is pitching, you might get him confused with Max Fried with how similar the mechanics are. Povich has seen his strike-throwing improve this year and he steals a lot of called strikes, having a 31.5 percent CSW.
