Predict Alex Lange's pro career

Where does he get drafted? How long does he spend in the minors? How does his big league career play out?
24

Late first round
2.5 years before he gets a cup of coffee. He will get sent back down to AAA for fine tuning, then go back up for good.
I can see him spending 5 or 6 years in the Show before the injuries get to him.
He will bang dimes at every level.

late first or second round; maybe later.
impossible to predict but he needs help with his off speed pitches big time. he'll get great coaching in the minors and get his chance.

Yeah, he's in for a rude hazing awakening

I just don't see big league stuff from him

Bullpen
His stuff just isn't that good. Reminds me of Eades

Late first early second rounder this year. Quick riser through the minors as a high leverage bullpen piece.

93-94 over the middle of the plate wont get you very far in the majors

His stuff is way too inconsistent.
Plus his velocity this year is low 90's compared to mid 90's his fr year. Against USCe he was 90-92.
If he can harnass it like his fr year when he really didn't have a change he could rise quick.
The makeup is there.
He tends to overthrow.
If you can't throw strikes MLB will murder you!

Late 1st early 2nd. Impossible to project how far he gets or longevity but I see him as a long relief pitcher at the next level

Tops out at A
Replaces Dunn as our pitching coach

As long as remains a two pitch pitcher then he be a relief pitcher at best.

As a metric, look at Gaussman whom I believe to be better than Lange.
Gauss has something like a 6.38 ERA this season and is being roasted by local press.
Lange doesn't have the same tools Gaussman had when he left LSU for the bigs.

He has a decent but flat fastball. His curveball is major league stuff. His change up will get better when he is in the minors and they will force him to throw it no matter what the results are.
Fastball command is what will determine Alex Lange's career. If he wants to remain a starter he is going to have to learn to not give max effort every pitch. I really see him as a quality bullpen guy by the time it is all said and done.

Yeah but Gausmann ate powdered donuts

Top 3 rounds. Hopefully, the third pitch will develop or we could see him as a reliever of some sort.
