Muscular build, with built-up legs and a compact upper half, Burnette’s low 3/4 release point wrecks havoc on batters, especially left-handed batters. His fastball is his main weapon, as it sits in the mid-90s, touching 97 mph. His sweeping slider is an above-average secondary pitch, while his changeup has a late break and is slightly below average. The biggest issue in 2022 was his control and command, as he tends to miss his spot occasionally.

Compact body, broad shoulders, and muscular legs, Eisert’s 3/4 release point deceives batters, especially those on the left side. Low velocity, but it plays up with release point and extension, and works best at the top of the zone. His sweeping slider runs far off the plate for left-handed batters, and his changeup is a weapon against righties with its late vertical break. Where Eisert excels is locating his pitches, which can take him to the next level. In the rare times he misses his spots, he is hit hard.

Stocky build with muscular legs and broad shoulders, Quiñones releases the ball from a high 3/4 point. The fastball is a plus pitch not only for solid velocity but also for underlying stats. His splitter is his best pitch, as the late break misses plenty of bats. All four of his pitches can and have been used as “out” pitches. To take it to the next level, Quiñones will need to throw strikes and locate his spots, but he certainly has the stuff to be a back end of the rotation starter.

Tall, muscular frame with long legs and projectability remaining, Kloffenstein features a five-pitch mix which when on, is fantastic. His fastball has a ton of downward movement which will help him generate ground balls, while his changeup and slider can generate whiffs. His curveball is a good additional “get me over” pitch to mess with batters’ timing. For the past two seasons, Kloffenstein has struggled with walks and big innings. This has led to big innings which drastically increases his pitch count and ERA. It’s something he’ll need to straighten out to progress to the next level.

Stocky build, with a powerful lower half and broad shoulders, there is little room for projection. His changeup has a ton of late break and downward movement, missing plenty of bats. Changeup plays well with his fastball when the latter is working. Slider is developing, but he took strides with it in 2022. While young for Double-A, he’ll have to look to improve his control in 2023.
