Conor Larkin is a fantasy baseball RP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Conor Larkin, RP, Toronto Blue Jays
ANALYSIS: Conor Larkin chose to return to Penn State after the shortened 2020 season, so he was not drafted in the short five-round 2020 draft. In 2021 he struggled with the Nittany Lions and fell to the ninth round for the Blue Jays.
He works into the mid-90s with his fastball, but it doesn't have a ton of movement characteristics that you typically look for. His slider makes up for that out of the bullpen, a role that he's assumed his entire pro career.
Larkin struggled through the first two months of the season, but he's posted a 1.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP since June 1 with 31 strikeouts and eight walks over 25 innings.
VERDICT: A flyball pitcher without a dominant fastball is a guy that is worrisome for a fantasy-worthy relief profile, and Larkin is still in High-A. No reason to worry about rostering him.
