DJ Myers, RHP. DOB: 12/24/1994. 6'5", 265 lbs. Drafted 2016 Round 15.
2018 A+: 6-4, 4.86, 96.1 IP, 8.78 K/9, 2.06 BB/9, 1.22 GB/FB, 3.76 FIP, 4.01 xFIP.
DJ Myers is a jumbo sized RHP who has pitched in a swingman role(30 Starts in 60 Appearances) since being drafted in 2016. So far, he has shown adequate K rates, solid BB rates and modest GB tendency. I don't find a scouting report per se but on video he has a nice easy motion where he looks like he's playing catch with the catcher. Kind of brings back memories of Rick Reuschal. Time to take his game up to AA Richmond which is generally more pitcher friendly than San Jose. If he does well there, he can get in line for a MLB opportunity. I would project a swingman/long relief role for him in the majors.

He looks like a big bear, easy motion, maybe he could be better than you think?
