Jeremy Walker was a fringe starting pitching prospect for the Braves not too long ago. His numbers as a starter were fairly meh and his peripherals backed up that evaluation with a strikeout rate of less than 7 K/9 and stuff that certainly wasn’t bad, but also didn’t inspire much thought about him having much of a ceiling.
His conversion to a relief arm changed that calculus as he burst on to the scene in 2019 and made his way to the major leagues as a bona fide bullpen arm of note. We didn’t get to see him play in 2020, so lets take a look at what we could realistically expect.
