Organization Prospect Rankings
Siegrist has all of the ingredients to be a big league lefty, though health has eluded him since he signed for $85,000 as a 41st-round pick in 2008. His development has been hampered by neck pain, lower-back stiffness and a right (non-throwing) shoulder strain that landed him on the disabled list last summer, though he has avoided surgery each time. He returned in time to pitch in the Texas League playoffs and then broke through in the Arizona Fall League, where he went 2-1, 2.39 with 27 strikeouts in 19 innings. When healthy, Siegrist is hard to hit thanks to a 91-93 mph fastball, solid curveball and developing changeup. He throws them all from a low three-quarters slot, and that coupled with his frame adds deception. His command has improved with increased innings. Siegrist has enough promise and stuff to remain a starter, but the Cardinals have an immediate need for lefty relief. Added to the 40-man roster, he's earmarked for Triple-A, where he'll continue to start until the big league club requires another lefty reliever.
