The people have spoken, and they all are coming down with a case of Bieber fever.
Shane Bieber was incredibly impressive in 2017, showcasing the best control in all of minor league baseball and the Indians rewarded him by promoting the 2016 fourth round draft pick not once, but twice. Despite being drafted just one and a half years ago, Bieber finished the season pitching for Double-A Akron.
The right-handed starter out of UC Santa Barbera has pitched 197.1 innings thus far in his minor league career across four levels.
He’s walked just 12 batters (two intentionally) while striking out 183, good for a disgusting career K/BB ratio of 15.
