Alzolay is the top overall pitcher in the Cubs system. At just 23 years old, he has worked his way up to Triple-A, and could, in theory, find himself called up in September. First, however, Alzolay needs to see more consistency.
Last season at Double-A, Alzolay started seven games, posting a very respectable 3.03 ERA. His 3.82 xFIP was solid enough, and he also did not allow a single home run. Strangely enough, Alzolay did not record a single win in any start.
Now at Triple-A, Alzolay has made seven starts so far this season. Unfortunately, it has not gone as planned.
