CJ Riefenhauser

Most of Riefenhauser’s 2015 was spent at Triple-A Durham, where he was strong in 34.2 innings, putting up a 2.86 ERA and 4.86 K/BB ratio. His time in the majors has been considerably less successful, where he possesses a 6.30 ERA across two seasons and 20 career innings. He possesses a two-pitch arsenal consisting of a sinking 90-mph fastball and sweeping slider. While he shows off great command in the minors for a left-hander, that left him whenever he landed in Tampa, where his walk rate is higher than his strikeout rate. He'll get a chance to rectify that after being traded to Baltimore, where he figures to push for a bullpen spot in Spring Training.
