Show Notes
Emerson Hancock, a Seattle Mariners pitcher, showcased his potential in a recent outing, striking out four batters and averaging 96.3 mph on his fastball. Despite filling in as a starter due to injuries, Hancock has thrived in relief roles, dominating in Triple-A and handling big-league hitters in short bursts. His velocity increases in shorter outings, making him ideal for long relief or sixth-inning work. However, the Mariners bullpen lacks flexibility due to many relievers being out of options, potentially sending Hancock back to Triple-A as starting rotation insurance. The uncertainty around Bryce Millers oblique issue adds pressure, possibly requiring Hancocks starting experience sooner than expected.
