Tink Hence Strikes Out Two In Relief
2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Tink Hence worked a scoreless frame in Monday's victory versus the Houston Astros. The right-hander allowed a free pass, but also struck out two on the afternoon. Hence, 20, has rapidly climbed Top-100 boards over the past year and for good reason. Hence was 0-1 with a shiny 1.38 ERA in 52 1/3 innings with 81 strikeouts and a clean 0.88 WHIP over 16 starts for Single-A Palm Beach. Currently sporting a fastball that can hit up to 99 MPH to go along with a nasty curveball and an above average changeup to polish things off, Hence has all the makings of a future top of the rotation option. Hence has been limited by the Cardinals and it will be interesting to see if they let training wheels off a little more this upcoming season, but managers in dynasty leagues should start to keep tabs on Hence. With Hence a few years away from reaching the big leagues, managers in redraft leagues can ignore him at the moment.
