Connor Prielipp emerges as a high-strikeout rotation anchor for the Twins
Prielipp has been electric recently, highlighted by a dominant 10-strikeout, zero-walk performance over six innings in his last start. The 25-year-old left-hander has solidified his role as the number two starter for a third-place Twins squad that currently sits at 44-47. While the team is carefully managing his workload following past injury concerns, his mid-90s velocity and wipeout slider have drawn internal comparisons to Johan Santana.
Under the hood, Prielipp’s current 5.00 season ERA is a bit inflated compared to our model's projection of 4.26, suggesting better days are ahead as his luck stabilizes. While his 15.00 K/9 over the last 14 days is unsustainable, his 9.56 career K/9 confirms that the swing-and-miss stuff is a permanent part of his profile. Expect his 1.39 career WHIP to trend downward if he maintains the improved command shown in his latest historic outing.
This week, Prielipp is scheduled for a single start on Wednesday at home against the second-place Guardians. He will match up against Slade Cecconi, who enters the contest with a 4.55 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP, providing a favorable opportunity for the rookie to secure another win. Given the elite strikeout ceiling and a vulnerable opposing pitcher, he is a priority play in all formats this week. Start.
