Pitching studs: Cade Horton is the real deal for the Chicago Cubs

Wonder what the data says about your favorite prospect pitcher? We dove into it to check and see!

Cade Horton of the Chicago Cubs has one of the best combinations of swinging strike rate and walk rate in the minors, so he's throwing lots of strikes that opposing hitters can't hit. would he be even better with a cutter?

Carson Whisenhunt of the San Francisco Giants should be considered the 2nd best pitching prospect in the San Fran system, with his fastball and changeup combo.

For sleepers, Christian Scott of the New York Mets has completely overhauled what he throws since his time at the University of Florida, while Kyle Hurt of the Los Angeles Dodgers is yet another AA Tulsa arm that's dominating off of his exceptional fastball velocity and offspeed control.

For the "duds", Kansas City Royals prospect Beck Way has a major walk issue this season, while Chicago White Sox pitcher Sean Burke isn't getting strikeouts despite good stuff
