PROSPECT: Emmet Sheehan, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
ANALYSIS: Sheehan was perhaps the biggest eye-opener of the AFL. Originally drafted by the Dodgers in the sixth round of the 2021 draft out of Boston College, Sheehan never recorded eye-popping numbers in college, which made his emergence in 2021 (2.91 ERA across High-A and Double-A with 106 strikeouts in 68 innings) notable.
Sheehan works with a deceptive fastball that can touch 98 and mixes a host of other pitches with it, with his changeup emerging as a swing-and-miss pitch during fall action.
He’s opened 2023 striking out nearly 50% of hitters over his first 11 2/3 innings, with a crazy 21/3 K/BB ratio.
VERDICT: The Dodgers may have found another one, but where to put all of these talented arms?! Sheehan is a deep dynasty add, but he could transition to the bullpen and watch his stuff really play up or be part of a trade to an organization where he doesn’t have the same competition to get to the majors. Hold off for now in shallow dynasty, but keep a watchful eye.
