Featuring a high-octane fastball and wicked slider, Medina enjoyed some nice stretches in 2023 and was a popular streamer at times, but he finished his rookie campaign with a rough 5.42 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 17 starts and six relief appearances. He had the fourth-worst walk percentage (11.5) of the 127 major-league pitchers who logged more than 100 innings and turned in a 3-10 record for an Athletics team that lost 112 games and probably won't be any better in 2024. This wasn't a case of first-year jitters, either, as Medina also had real trouble finding the strike zone as he made his way through the minors. Maybe he can take a sudden step forward from a command standpoint, but it's not something to count on come draft day. On any other team, he might already be stuck in a permanent bullpen role at age 24. Read Past Outlooks
