Tyler Mahle threw a nice game last night against the San Francisco Giants. In fact, he stuck out the side in the second inning after allowing two hits in the first frame. However, despite Mahle’s talent, it looks as though he’s likely to start the season at Triple-A Louisville. The Cincinnati Reds have too many good arms and Mahle looks to be the odd man out.
I’m a big fan of Tyler Mahle, and outside of Luis Castillo, I believe he has the best chance among the Reds’ internal candidates to be the team’s ace in the coming years.
