Parker Messick Fantasy Stats

The Cleveland Guardians will promote left-handed pitching prospect Parker Messick from Triple-A Columbus to make his debut Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to Guardians Prospective. A second-round pick from Florida State in 2022, Messick has held his own during his first Triple-A action this season. Across 20 starts and 98 2/3 innings, the 24-year-old has posted a 3.47 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP, 119 strikeouts, and 42 walks. MLB Pipeline ranks Messick 12th among Guardians prospects and notes that he has "a high floor as at least a back-of-the-rotation starter." With Cleveland having optioned lefty Joey Cantillo on Sunday, Messick could have a shot at sticking in the rotation if he pitches well against the Diamondbacks.

Cleveland Guardians left-handed pitching prospect Parker Messick tossed five shutout innings during his start against Triple-A Lehigh Valley. In this outing, Messick allowed just one hit and a walk, and matched a season-high eight punchouts. This was a strong bounce-back outing for Messick as well, as he allowed four runs in each of his previous two starts. Through 22 1/3 innings (five starts), the southpaw has posted a solid 3.22 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP. During this stretch, the Florida State product has held a 30:10 K:BB and allowed just two home runs. Last summer, the 24-year-old progressed through the Cleveland system quite quickly and should be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer, given his current production. Last season, Messick held an impressive 2.83 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP across 133 2/3 innings split between High-A and Double-A. If he continues to perform well, Messick could become a worthy stash target.

Last summer, during his first look at Double-A, the former second-round pick posted an impressive 2.06 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP across 65 2/3 innings. During this stint, he struck out 85 batters. He is worth keeping a close eye on as he should be in the mix for his MLB debut later this summer.
