Spencer Giesting Promoted To Double-A
6 months agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher prospect Spencer Giesting is being promoted to Double-A Amarillo. The former 11th-round draft pick pitched to a 4.00 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and a 10.1% K-BB% over 24 starts last season at High-A, but has looked like a different pitcher this season. Over 10 starts at High-A in 2024, the southpaw has posted a 1.50 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and a 23.2% K-BB%. He's lowered his BB% and HR/FB% significantly while increasing his SwStr% by a large margin, which has been a recipe for success. As an 11th-rounder and outside the Diamondbacks' Top 30, Giesting is exceeding expectations and if he continues to have success at Double-A, dynasty managers will want to start keeping tabs on the 22-year-old.
