The 27-year-old was a fifth-round pick out of Stanford in 2019. He doesn&#8217;t rely on velocity as most relievers do. Instead, he uses the movement of his pitches to get hitters out. He recently added a splitter to his repertoire.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_102528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102528\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-102528\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/USATSI_25544606-2048x1407.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-102528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feb 28, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Little against the Los Angeles Angels during a spring training game at Camelback Ranch-Glendale.
