In my opinion, Sean Paul Linan was the best prospect the Washington Nationals acquired this deadline. The 20 year old right handed pitcher was part of the return that sent Alex Call to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Linan’s changeup is one of the best pitches in all of minor league baseball. Here is a look at the pitch from one of his best outings of the season.
Sean Paul Liñan struck out 11 in 5.0 innings of 2-hit, shutout ball on April 24.
This came during a stretch in which he opened the season by striking out at least 10 batters in three of his first four outings.
