My Take
J.B. Bukauskas is the kind of hard-throwing right-hander who gets my attention. Born in Ashburn, Virginia, he starred for the North Carolina Tar Heels before going early in the draft as a genuine power pitcher. He has bounced through the Diamondbacks and Mariners and now sits in the Brewers organization, which to me reads as the real grind of pro baseball, surviving injuries and trades while refining his stuff. The big leagues never reward talent alone; they demand stubbornness. Born in 1996, he still has road ahead, and I will happily keep watching to see him roar off the mound again.
