The St. Louis Cardinals are depth strapped in the starting pitching category right now. So what do they have in Johan Oviedo?
Johan Oviedo, currently the No. 12 prospect in the organization, made his debut with the Cardinals in the shortened 2020 season. Like many others in the organization and even across MLB, Oviedo was likely thrown into the big leagues possibly a bit prematurely due to the doubleheaders and lack of off days.
