I was pretty excited to see the Chicago White Sox draft Hank Pratt 2nd overall in the 2035 MLB draft. At the start of the 2036 season, he's considered the #1 prospect in all of baseball and he's starting the season in their bullpen at only 21 years of age. Here's hoping he finds a way into the rotation before the year is over.
What are your experiences with game-generated knuckleballers?

21 years old and 33 starts between College, Rookie, Short-A, and Low-A and I assume he made the team out of ST as a long-man? Wow. Did he get drafted out of a US or Canadian college?
Those numbers:
Averaged 6.2 IP/GS in College, just under 5 IP/GS at Short-A in three starts and 5.2 IP/GS at Low-A. Almost logical in not burning his arm out even for a knuckler at 21.
The raw numbers:
His professional numbers are great; 3-2 in 15 starts over 79.2 innings and 86 strikeouts with a 2.49 ERA. Combine his college stats and he went 14-4 in 33 starts over 203.1 innings, 255 strikeouts and a 2.08 ERA while averaging 6.1 IP/GS.
