J.B. Bukauskas Continues Perfect Spring On Saturday
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks pitcher J.B. Bukauskas continued his perfect spring on Saturday afternoon, earning the win as he struck out the side in an inning of work against San Diego. He started off the fifth inning with a swinging strikeout against Tommy Pham, before striking out Ha-Seong Kim and Austin Nola looking. One of the top pitching prospects in Arizona's system, Bukauskas has not allowed a baserunner through his first four innings and has nine strikeouts in that span. He's not likely to crack the rotation right out the gates, but he is pitching well enough to be considered for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. If he keeps pitching like this, he'll be one of the better relievers to target in SV/HLD leagues.
