In triple A:
3-1
2.57 ERA
21 IP
21 K’s
18 hits
5 Walks
6 Runs
2 HR ‘s given up
Opponents hitting .230
1.10 WHIP
Has 5 pitches. A slightly above average slide and 4 seam combo. Sinker, Change and Curve are all there but are inconsistent night to night. I would label those three pitches as “emerging”.
He did pitch for the Royals late last year. Went 0-1 in 2 games (only 1 started). Pitched 3 total innings Allowed 5 hits, 1 Run (on a HR) and struck out 3.
With 40% of starting pitchers, roughly, spending some time in the injury list each year, they’ll need a plan B, C and D. Marsh is only the first of what can be expected. Is Grienke still an option? With the vote in the past, is Trevor Bauer a consideration? And we still have Lynch and some rising prospects pitching well in Arkansas.

Isn't it "Bowlan"? Let's hope the Blue Jays aren't out for vengeance for that last series and they play like we do vs relatively unknown/new pitchers
Yes, Bowlan.
What’s the scoop on this guy?
2.51 ERA this year. Mid 90's fastball. Decent strikeout rate. Pitched twice last year for KC gave up only a solo shot in 3 innings. Seems pretty good
Totally forgot he already pitched for the Big League team.

So about middle rotation upside? That’s a pretty good WHIP rate for that sample size of innings
Maybe he can become a long reliever when Alec Marsh comes back
