Ryan Sublette

Sublette was one of the more reliable relievers in college baseball in 2021. He was asked once a weekend to get the Red Raiders six to 12 outs in a tight game and was effective at doing so. Sublette struck out 13.2 batters per nine innings and held opposing hitters to a .183/.270/.209 slash line. His 92-95 mph above-average fastball has late life to generate swings and misses in the strike zone. His above-average mid-80s slider is effective thanks to its power and modest break because he does a good job of spotting it glove side and down on the black or just off the plate. Sublette has the stuff of a lower-leverage MLB reliever, but he will have to show he can handle the workload and usage patterns of a pro reliever. He pitched on back-to-back days only twice all season and generally worked one day a week.
