Still pretty raw in the minor leagues I'm looking forward to seeing how well Joel Kuhnel develops .. He can easily throw 100 mph, 83-93 mph slider and low 90's change.. Up until last year he was pretty much unnoticed, but then it all seemed to click.
So far this season at Chattanooga he's gone 5.2 innings, 0.00 era w/ 10 Ks.. He was drafted in the 11th round in 2016
With the big league staff doing well for now he may just get the extra time to develop his skills instead of the usual trial by fire..
I think the place to watch for break out players is in the minor leagues. Once they reach the bigs in a small market they typically don't stick around long with the club if they're posting big time numbers. Right or wrong most players are going to elect for free agency and big salaries. One promising sign though is the drop in free agency signings. I'm not sure if it's ownerships conspiring or if it's something else, but it sure is disheartening when a great player has to be traded simply because the team can't compete financially with the big market teams.
