Alex Faedo Strikes Out 12 in Double-A
5 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher prospect Alex Faedo set a new career mark by striking out 12 hitters across 6 1/3 innings Wednesday night. He allowed two hits and two walks with no runs scored in a 3-0 win for his Erie SeaWolves. Faedo has shown enormous potential this year, now with 69 K's across 56 2/3 innings. He lowered his season ERA from 4.29 to 3.81 after this start. The 23-year-old Faedo might have a promising future, but the Tigers have no urgency to rush their pitching prospects to the bigs and he's certainly behind the team's top overall prospect Casey Mize in the pecking order. Apart from deep keeper leagues, he should be left on waivers for the time being.
