Hurston Waldrep Strikes Out Eight
1 year agoAtlanta Braves pitching prospect Hurston Waldrep made his pro debut, striking out eight batters in just three innings for Single-A Augusta. He allowed three hits, one earned runs, and one walk in 50 pitches. The 24th pick in the 2023 draft had a decent junior year with the University of Florida, with a 4.16 ERA and 34.7% strikeout rate in 19 starts. The 21-year-old mainly utilizes his high-90s fastball and plus splitter, with a slider as his tertiary offering. With impressive stuff in an organization with fantastic prospect development, Waldrep is one of the best pitchers available in dynasty First-Year Player Drafts.
