King missed a good chunk of 2019 with a stress reaction in his elbow and ended up pitching fewer than 50 innings on the season. Over his four-year minor-league career, King has a 2.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, with a stingy 1.6 walks-per-nine-innings rate. He doesn't have one particularly great pitch, but a handful of pitches with excellent command help him get enough strikeouts to work as a starting pitcher. It's easy to slap a Kyle Hendricks label on him with those types of numbers, but that is unfair to King given the fact he has all but two innings of major-league experience to his name. King may lack the upside of other pitchers, but the tools are there for him to be a successful back-end starting pitcher in the major leagues, with the right defense and run support behind him. If it doesn't work out in the rotation, his lack of velocity (91 mph sinker is his fastest pitch) limits his ceiling as a reliever.
