Off to solid start
Balazovic, who pitched a scoreless frame in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, now has a 1.80 ERA across five innings this spring.
ANALYSIS
Balazovic has made three appearances in the Grapefruit League, with two of them covering multiple innings, and he's pitched well so far. The 26-year-old came up as a starter in Minnesota's farm system and had some prospect buzz, but he never really made his mark with the Twins. After spending the end of the 2024 season as a member of Doosan Bears in the KBO, Balazovic will now attempt to crack Detroit's Opening Day bullpen, though he'll likely begin the year in the minors with a chance to get called up down the road.

2019
After working as a starter Balazovic moved to the bullpen at Triple-A last season and was called up to the majors in June. He had initial success with a 1.29 ERA and 10:4 K:BB ratio in 14 innings, but struggled by posting a 8.71 ERA and 8:7 K:BB ratio in 1.10 innings in his next seven appearances before being sent back to the minors in August. Balazovic was once regarded as a top starting pitching prospect but has struggled with control. He had a 4.5 BB/9 at Triple-A in 2022 and a 6.4 BB/9 in 2023. He can still strike out batters at a good clip (10.8 K/9 at Triple-A last season), so there's hope he can reduce his walk rate with a smaller pitch repertoire in the bullpen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Door open in 2022?
With Kenta Maeda undergoing Tommy John surgery and Jose Berrios traded at the deadline, Balazovic could work his way into the rotation next season.
ANALYSIS
Veteran Michael Pineda's contract will also be up at the end of 2021, so the Twins are suddenly looking at a lot of open rotation spots, and Balazovic is one of the team's top pitching prospects. The 22-year-old has pitched to a 3.64 ERA across 17 starts with Double-A Wichita this season and might be ready to take the jump into the MLB rotation in 2022.
