AJ Minter has quietly become elite

AJ Minter is ridiculously good, if you didn't know. And has been for a while.

When he was coming up through Atlanta's farm, Minter had a decent amount of hype attached to him as a potential high leverage reliever. And when he made his MLB debut in 2017, he didn't disappoint with 26 strikeouts and 2 walks in 15 innings with a 3.00 ERA and a 0.96 FIP. By 2018, he was viewed by everyone as an impact arm out of the bullpen, ended up splitting closing duties with Arodys Vizcaino that season, and again, didn’t disappoint with his performance.
