Scouting Reports
-
Weisenburger is a fast-rising relief option. He opened the year at High-A Lansing and earned a promotion to Midland after 13 outings. The reliever has dazzled with a wicked fastball-slider combination, striking out 46 batters over his first 29 innings across the two levels. The fastball, which was 90-93 in college, is up to 97 now and he pairs it with a sharp slider that has plenty of horizontal break that generated a 48% whiff rate as of mid July.
