The Diamondbacks have two incredibly talented pitchers in the middle of their rotation in Taijuan Walker and Robbie Ray. Both pitchers have big time fastballs and secondary pitches that keep batters off balance when they can command them. Both pitchers have the potential to be an Ace with the floor of being a solid #3 starter. With two full seasons in the majors, Ray and Walker have seen enough MLB action where you expect them to take the next step forward. I’ll spread it out into a two part series for an easier read.
Robbie Ray
Perhaps offering the Diamondbacks the best chance to be their future ace, Ray a pitcher with big time stuff but lacked consistent command.
