Dante Biasi

Biasi is a 6-foot, 205-pound lefthander who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 draft. He redshirted his freshman year and has seen an uptick in his strikeouts this season as a sophomore, fanning 98 batters in just 69 innings (12.4 per nine) against Big 10 competition. The lefthander uses a three-quarter arm slot and a repeatable delivery with a shorter arm action and stride, occasionally manipulating his leg lift in an effort to disrupt hitters’ timing. He can run his fastball up to 95 mph and throws a slider that shows above-average potential as well. With two above-average offerings and scattered strike throwing, some evaluators think he could be best suited for the bullpen in pro ball. His other secondary offering is a changeup that lags behind his fastball-slider combo.
