Max Knutson

Whatever team drafts Knutson knows that they will be taking on a project. Knutson shuffled between pitching sporadic innings in the bullpen and work as a midweek starter for Nebraska. A wrist wrap causes him to struggle to repeat his delivery and leads to well-below-average control, and he needs to develop a breaking ball. But Knutson has the arm strength to get drafted. He normally sits 89-92 mph, but on his best nights he'll pop a sporadic 94, 95 or 96 which shows scouts that there's plenty of arm strength in there. His changeup is a potentially average pitch, giving him the starting point of an interesting lefty power reliever, if he can sort out his delivery.
