Brett Lilek

A second-rounder in 2015 out of Arizona State, Lilek was fantastic in his pro debut for short-season Batavia. Pitching mostly as a 21-year-old, the 6-foot-4 lefty notched 43 strikeouts and walked just seven in 35 innings over 11 appearances (10 starts). His season was even more impressive when factoring in that he allowed 11 total earned runs in back-to-back starts in July, but otherwise gave up just two earned runs in his other nine outings (29.1 innings), which equates to a 0.61 ERA over those appearances. Lilek will most likely be a little under the radar in dynasty league drafts this season, due to the fact that 49 players were selected before the Marlins popped him. However, there aren’t many pitchers from that class who can match Lilek’s initial success in pro ball. Look for him to open his age-22 season with Low-A Greensboro with the potential to shoot up prospect lists if he can pick up where he left off last season.
