ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer noticed Austin Pruitt early in Spring Training.
"The first time I saw him throw a live batting practice at Spring Training, I'm like, 'I've got to learn from this guy,'" Archer said. "... He's a really good pitcher. I've watched a number of his bullpens. And from watching him, I've joked with him, I've learned a lot. Because he can really, really pitch."
Pruitt, 27, who has worked primarily as a starter in the Minor Leagues since beginning his professional career in 2013, is in the bullpen for the Rays.
