ANALYSIS
Sims is still awaiting his full-season debut, but he looks like he'll get the opportunity to pitch for Visalia within the next few days now that he's been activated after completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent prior to being drafted last summer. The 22-year-old right-hander joined the Single-A club after he struck out 11 while allowing three earned runs on seven hits and four walks in 10 innings during his extended rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
There are some bullpen red flags with Sims, but there's no denying he has the stuff to be a dominant late-inning reliever if it comes to that. He already showed he could dominate out of the bullpen as a sophomore at Mississippi State on its road to a national championship in 2021. The Diamondbacks gave him slightly over slot value in 2022 after selecting him with the 34th overall pick. Sims boasts a mid-90s fastball with excellent movement/release point metrics and a high-spin mid-80s slider, both of which could be plus-plus pitches. Unfortunately, Sims' move to the rotation was short-lived, as he got Tommy John surgery after making three starts as a junior. In regard to his third-pitch changeup and command/control, there's not much to go on, but he gave up just two earned runs with 27 strikeouts and two walks over 15.2 innings before tearing his UCL. At 6-foot-2, 227 pounds, he has the size to handle a starter's workload, and it's possible he is given a chance to start in the majors even if he's mostly relying on that fastball/slider combo. Sims could break out this summer, assuming he makes it all the way back from TJS.
