I feel like I am walking into a trap here. Who did we add?

Levi Huesman from Coastal. Very highly rated lefty out of HS but tough first year at Coastal. Should be a good add once he works out the kinks.

He was rated the #21 pitcher overall in his high school class and the #5 left-handed pitcher. If Brown can fix what ails him, he'll be a good pickup.

And most likely we got him for way under NIL slot value.....

#21 rated player overall , not #21 rated pitcher

Huge upside here

He was drafted in the 17th round by TBay coming out of high school.

Aria noted "control problems"

There must be a stronger word she could use than "problems."

33.2 IP / 28 BB / 13 HBP / 7 WP

Add 51 hits (inc. 5 HR) and he was fortunate to have ONLY a 9.36 ERA.

But Corbs and all the recruiting analysts who saw Levi in high school see something there. Could be an excellent pickup!

Would "dumpster fire" be more accurate?
