BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 190
CURRENT ADP: ~205 overall
ANALYSIS: We saw flashes of greatness from Detmers last season. He threw a no-hitter early on in the year and had a fantastic run of eight starts in the middle of the year (33% K%, 10% BB%, .212 AVG allowed). He remodeled his slider in the middle of the year when he got sent back down to AAA for a spell. He increased the velocity on the pitch and that helped bring the 6.7% SwStr% the pitch earned on his first 100 pitches the whole way up to 18% after he returned from the minors.
Detmers was one of the Angels' top prospects before he "graduated," so the talent has long been there. What we have seen this spring is a whole bunch of strikeouts (19 in 14.1 innings) and a good reduction in the walks (just five). That's a 24.6% K-BB%, which is a good thing to see even if it is across just four outings. I would still have interest in Detmers even if he were having a bad spring, which is the reason I'm confident giving him a shot early on this year.
