Major League Baseball conducted its 2020 amateur draft last week, with the five-round affair concluding on Thursday. The draft was shorter than usual stemming from the owners' desire to save money during the pandemic, and in accordance with an agreement between and the players a sociation. It was, then, a weird draft, especially with the specter of the unsettled negotiations between the two sides on a modified season looming overhead.Presuming commi sioner Rob Manfred's declaration that there will be baseball Josh Leivo Jersey this season proves true, this year's cla s could become even weirder for other reasons. As we noted in the run-up to the draft, .The reasons are straightforward: unlike in a typical year, the pitchers in question won't have worked a full season, and won't have a chance to report to the minors for further development. Additionally, teams will be more concerned than normally about having enough depth. That combination could lead some teams to hotshot their recent additions all the way to the Show.Below, we've identified five pitchers who, having received the call last week, could get a different kind of call over the coming months. ( .) 1. Reid Detmers, LHP, (No. 10, Louisville)Detmers was the fourth pitcher off the board, but he could be the first to arrive in the Show. He's a polished strike-thrower who dominated during the abbreviated season, striking out more than half (48) of the 91 batters he faced while allowing 16 hits, six walks, and three runs.Detmers is reliant on a low-90s fastball and a Antoine Roussel Men Jersey curveball that some evaluators have expre sed concern won't fare as well against better competition. That's because of two factors: its low-to-mid-70s velocity, and the apparent hump out of his hand. Curveball Porn/NSFW 11 Reid Detmers Curveballs from Last Night's 15K/6IP outing. Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) The Angels, who always seem stricken by injury and underperformance, could well give Detmers a chance to prove that hypothesis incorrect as early as this year. If not in a starting role, then at least in relief, where he could spam his curve to his heart's content. 2. Garrett Crochet, LHP, (No. 11, Tenne see)When we originally wrote about this po sibility, we identified the bloc of teams picking in the 10 to 12 range as the likeliest to try it. That group included the Angels, White Sox, and . Sure enough, two of the three took college arms who appear capable of giving it a go.Crochet is arguably better positioned than Detmers to make an impact this season. During his time with the Volunteers, he pitched out of the bullpen in 23 Thomas Vanek Jersey of his 36 appearances. His fastball-slider combination is high-grade, and the White Sox have shown a past willingne s to push a talented southpaw to the majors soon after selecting them -- remember, they allowed to debut just two months after drafting him in 2010.The catch with Crochet is health-related. He appeared in a single game during the abbreviated season due to an injury, and some teams in the draft had concerns about his durability. 3. Burl Carraway, LHP, (No. 51, Dallas Baptist)4. Clayon Beeter, RHP, (No. 66, Texas Tech)5. Holden Powell, RHP, (No. 94, UCLA)We touched on it with Crochet, but if you're going to use a pitcher in relief this season, then why not make it a pitcher accustomed to the rigors and routines of pitching out of the bullpen? We lumped these three together because each will be a member of a competitive National League squad, and each has a history of working in short spurts. Want to see more? Roll the on Burl Carraway Mi souri Valley Conference (@MVCsports) Carraway was the best pure reliever in the cla s. His fastball-curveball combination qualifies as elite, whether it's judged by the eye or the Trackman machine. For as good as his stuff is, he could stand to throw Patrick Wiercioch Kids Jersey more strikes. He walked more than five batters per nine during his collegiate career, and improving his command is the one hurdle between him and a long-term career in high-leverage work. Perhaps the Cubs can help him tame his uptempo delivery. First appearance as a Red Raider is a save situation with a one-run lead?Clayton Beeter says "No problem." Texas Tech Baseball (@TTU_Baseball) Beeter is the only one of these three with any starting aspirations. Still, the Dodgers might push him aggre sively, knowing that he's already undergone a pair of elbow operations. Beeter has the raw stuff to be an impact arm sooner than later: his fastball can touch into the upper-90s, and he imparts elite spin on his curveball. Perhaps the Dodgers try to split the difference, using him in relief this year before resetting their sights on making him a starter for the long haul. Props to Holden Powell, who struck out the side in the ninth to finish off the six-out save! UCLA Baseball (@UCLABaseball) Then there's Powell, who was having a fantastic season ahead of the pandemic. In eight appearances this spring, he had struck out 20 batters, walked two, and allowed three hits and zero runs. That'll play, and so will his fastball-slider combination. The Nationals have ample experience with quick-moving relievers: was permitted to reach the majors within a year of being drafted in 2009, and, going back to the Montreal days, Chad Cordero debuted within two months of being Nic Dowd Kids Jersey selected in 2003. Might Powell follow suit? We'll find out.
