Zach Maxwell Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Zach Maxwell is getting called up from Triple-A Louisville for what will be his major league debut whenever he enters a game. The Reds' 24th-ranked prospect owned a 4.17 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and struck out 26.8 percent of batters he faced for the Bats, but looked even better as of late. The 6-foot-6 hurler recorded a 1.62 ERA and struck out 36.5 percent of batters over his last 16 games, although his WHIP remained elevated due to a 17.6 percent walk rate, something that has plagued him throughout his minor league career. Maxwell will likely fill a middle relief role for the Reds, and with some concerns about walks, there is little reason to roster him in fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Zach Maxwell earned his second victory of the season out of relief for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. Maxwell sent down all three batters he faced via the strikeout and allowed one hit. Maxwell has close to an equal amount of time between Double-A and Triple-A this season. After dominating Double-A with a 1.23 ERA in 14 2/3 innings, he has struggled with Louisville to the tune of a 6.52 ERA in his first 11 innings. Despite the early struggles, Maxwell has flashed potential as he can hit up to 100 MPH with his big 6'6, 275-pound frame. Maxwell is not a player that dynasty managers need to go running after, but he could be good bullpen option in the future.
