My Take

Bailey Falter is a name I associate with the grind that defines most pitching careers. The Chino Hills, California lefty grew up idolizing Sandy Koufax, threw a high-school no-hitter in 2013, and has since made the majors with the Phillies and Pirates before landing in the Royals organization. At 193 centimeters he's got the frame teams love on the mound. To me he represents the unglamorous middle of pro baseball, a useful arm moving between organizations, always fighting for a rotation spot. The Koufax connection is a nice touch; chasing a legend's shadow is its own quiet motivation.
