Scouting Report: Connor Prielipp
Minnesota Twins | SP
Overall
Summary
Connor Prielipp, a 25-year-old left-handed starter for the Minnesota Twins, is emerging as a potential future ace despite a complex injury history (two Tommy John surgeries). Through five MLB starts, he has posted a 2.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 29 strikeouts, and 9 walks in 25 innings. Recently achieved his first six-inning start of the season against Milwaukee. The Twins are carefully managing his workload and innings due to his injury history, pushing back starts to provide extra rest. He has shown impressive strikeout potential with a slider-fastball combo (13.0% swinging strike rate). Primary concern is durability and physical readiness given his extensive injury background and limited experience at high workloads.
Strengths
- Excellent ERA (2.88) and WHIP (0.96) through five starts
- Strong strikeout production (29 K in 25 IP)
