Prospect Graduation: RHP Archie Bradley

Archie Bradley was on the cusp of forcing his way into the big leagues in 2014, but then a slew of injuries threatened to derail a promising career. Fast-forward to the 2016 season, where Archie Bradley's stuff rebounded. The results on the box score still weren't impressive, but there were flashes of brilliance. At times Bradley would just blitz through a lineup and at times he struggled to get outs. While most of his starts ended near the 5th inning thanks to a high pitch count, he was able to make a jump in strikeout rate.

Fastball: 60/70

Curveball: 55/70

Cutter: 40/55

Change-up: 40/50

Command: 40/55

Pitchability: 45/60

Future Value: 55

Bradley needs to be able to work ahead in the count in order to maximize his effectiveness.
