Kevin Gausman (RHP, BAL)
With the Orioles in need of a starting pitcher to fill in the rotation, they have summoned the highly-touted Kevin Gausman to fill the void. Ranked as the Orioles’ number two prospect and 53rd best prospect in the minors.  Gausman has number two upside due to his power arsenal and ability to command all his pitches. Tall and lean he brings a plus fastball sitting in the 92-98 range with plus movement. His second best pitch is his change-up that features plus fade and solid depth. To accompany his fastball-changeup combo, Gausman shows a solid curveball and slider, but due to his arm action he may be more likely to scrap the curve and stick with a plus three-pitch mix down the road. In the meantime, all four pitches work and until he shows otherwise they will remain intact. To complement his power stuff, he displays plus plus command of his pitches and constantly pounds all quadrants of the strike zone. While there is not much more to his ceiling, he is already plus across the board. With the Orioles lacking a front of the rotation starter, if Gausman can translate the same success he had in the minors he may be holding down the top spot for years to come. Through 61.1 innings of work in the minors, Gausman has pitched to a 3.23 ERA.
STATS: Bowie (AA) – 8 g, 8 gs, 2-4 3.11 ERA, 46.1 IP, .246 oppBA
CURRENT ROLE: #5 Starter
POTENTIAL: #2 Starter

Caleb Thielbar (LHP, MIN)
The Twins awarded Caleb Thielbar his first callup to join their bullpen in a middle relief role. Thielbar was originally drafted by Milwaukee in the 18th round of the ’09 draft but was cut after two years in their system. He spent most of 2011 playing independent ball, where the Twins found him and signed him. He progressed from High-A to Triple-A during the 2012 season, finishing the season with 3.57 ERA in 40 IP at Triple-A Rochester. Thielbar had a slow April to start this season but has run off eight straight games in May—all in the bullpen—without giving up an earned run. The 6-0 185 lefty throws with a lot of movement in his lower half to generate good arm speed with near max-effort on his delivery. There is not a lot of deception in his overhand motion. After being cut by the Brewers, Thielbar tweaked his mechanics to bump up the velocity on his fastball from topping out at 88 mph to 92 mph. He also throws a good curveball and change-up. He shows good command on all three pitches and has always found a way to have a decent strikeout rate without an overpowering fastball. Another plus in his arsenal is the ability to induce a lot of groundballs. He has been particularly tough on LHB this season, holding them to a .159 BA, and 22 of 39 outs recorded as strike outs. He profiles as a lefty specialist more than a late-innings reliever. Career numbers: 226 IP, 3.15 ERA, .247 oppBA.
