American Xzavion Curry will make his MLB debut and start on Monday for Guardians

The Guardians will turn to right-handed pitching prospect Xzavion Curry to start the second game of today’s doubleheader, manager Terry Francona revealed (Twitter link via Cleveland.com’s Joe Noga). He’ll need to have his contract legally picked to the 40-man roster, which is currently at capacity. Curry, 24, was Cleveland’s seventh-round choice back in 2019 and has experienced a great season between Double-A and Triple-A, pitching to a combined 3.48 ERA, 27.5% strikeout rate, and 7.3% walk rate over the length of 101 innings (17 starts, two relief appearances) (17 starts, two relief appearances).

Curry didn’t record dominant stats in his collegiate days at Georgia Tech and was labeled at “just” 5’10”, which might’ve contributed to him finishing in the seventh round of his draft. However, he’s had little to no difficulty transitioning to the professional game, generating solid performance at every minor league stop — culminating in a career 2.90 minor league ERA.

FanGraphs tabs Curry 12th among Guardians farmhands in an immensely packed system, and he sits 18th on Baseball America’s midseason rankings. Scouting reports on Curry suggest that even while his heater sits in the low 90s, its enormous spin and his deceptive delivery let it play up as a plus pitch that can miss bats in bunches. His secondary offerings don’t earn as much acclaim, though his slider is viewed as a potentially above-average pitch — and Curry’s exceptional command helps all of his pitches exceed expectations at times.

Plausible Big League

He’s walked just 46 off the 795 hitters he’s faced as a pro (5.8%). Curry will offer Guards fans their first glimpse at the latest rotation option to walk out of the organization’s pitching factory. Cleveland seems to produce plausible big league starters on trees, with both Curry and righty Peyton Battenfield (selected two rounds after Curry) the latest unheralded prospects to rocket through the system and position themselves as possible big league players.

The Guardians’ five-man rotation is presently full, owing to the presence of Shane Bieber, Triston McKenzie, Aaron Civale, Zach Plesac, and Cal Quantrill, but both Curry and Battenfield have seemingly pitched their way to the higher levels of the organization’s depth chart.

Trading Offers

Success in routinely bringing out promising arms is one of the many reasons the Guardians have regularly been able to deal from their Major League pitching staff to maintain the minor league system packed without needing to dive headlong into a grueling, years-long rebuilding project in recent seasons.

Cleveland was reportedly open to trading offers on some controllable arms prior to the deadline — Plesac’s name was most commonly speculated upon — and promising late showings from arms like Curry who make their debuts this season will make it easier for the Guardians to renew any of those conversations this winter if they choose.
