The National League Central is overflowing with young starting pitching talent. Flame-throwing rookie Chase Burns also made his debut this season and figures to factor into the Reds' future rotation plans. Rookie Braxton Ashcraft holds a 2.44 ERA in his first 55.1 big league innings, splitting time between the starting rotation and the bullpen. Bearing a striking resemblance to his now-teammate Paul Skenes, Chandler also possesses the same unique velocity that the Pirates' ace does. While he may not have a "splinker" or an elite repertoire of seven pitches like Skenes, Chandler averages 0.6 mph more on his fastball (98.7 mph) than Skenes does.
