MLB Draft 2017: Cleveland Indians starting pitcher system depth

The current Cleveland Indians rotation houses six pitchers who can be downright dominant when they’re pitching on all cylinders. At the head of the pack are Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco. Kluber won the 2014 Cy Young award while Carrasco is looking like a future Cy Young candidate himself.

In the middle are young arms Danny Salazar, Trevor Bauer and Mike Clevinger. Salazar has an incredibly live arm, but his inconsistency just had him demoted to the bullpen, while Bauer is slowly putting things together and Clevinger looks ready to become a full-time member of the rotation after several strong starts already this year.
