Tanner Gordon
During his four year professional career, Tanner Gordon has proven he can be a decent back end rotation starting pitcher one day in the major leagues. Gordon transitioned up to AAA for the Braves earlier this year. After being traded to the Rockies, Colorado decided to opt him to AA Hartford Yard Goats. This year, he has a record of 6-9 with a 5.69 ERA in the minor leagues with 82 strikeouts. In his debut with Hartford, Gordon pitched in a total of 5.2 innings and gave up only two runs and struck out six batters.
According to FanGraphs, Gordon is a pitcher who will strikeout hitters almost 30% of the time, and hitters have an average of .292 against him with a WHIP of .152. Gordon does have some things he needs to work on, but as time goes on, he could develop into a nice pitcher for Colorado. He will need a few more years in the minors to really put it all together. - roxpile.com
