Thomas Pannone is a SP sleeper prospect and minor leaguer to know for fantasy baseball. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Thomas Pannone, SP, Milwaukee Brewers
ANALYSIS: After being selected by Cleveland in the ninth round of the 2013 draft, Pannone was traded to Toronto along with Samad Taylor for Joe Smith in a trade deadline deal in 2017. Pannone earned his way to a major league debut in 2018 with the Blue Jays and pitched 73 innings as a swingman in 2019, sporting a 6.16 ERA.
He was a free agent after the pandemic year and settled on a minor league deal with the Angels. However, after posting a 7.07 ERA in 2021 and struggling again in 2022 with the Red Sox in Triple-A, Pannone opted to play in Korea. There, he made 14 starts and put up very solid numbers.
His success in the KBO League led to a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers this offseason, and he's certainly made the most of it. Pannone has posted a 3.24 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 37:10 K/BB rate over 41 2/3 innings (nine appearances, seven starts) with Triple-A Nashville.
VERDICT: Pannone leans heavily on his cutter now and also works his curveball, changeup, and 4-seam fastball as complementary pitches. Despite rarely touching 90 MPH, Pannone's ability to locate a diverse group of pitches makes him a viable candidate for success as a left-handed multi-inning relief option, provided the the Brewers give him the call.
