Jack Flaherty is not a superstar of the future for the Cardinals. He IS a superstar right now. The guy mows down hitters anyway possible. In the second half of last season he had a 0.93 ERA and 10.9 K/9. Ended 4th, I think lol, in Cy Young voting.

He’s got a 97 mph fastball and a put away slider that at times is completely un-hittable. He is a fierce competitor and hard worker.

I absolutely love watching him pitch every chance I get. I watch his motivational twitter videos. And on top of that the guy is on top of social justice issues and speaking out for what he believes in. He would be one of the first superstars in baseball to really speak his voice on these matters. This has been something that Lebron and the NBA have been doing it for years. Flaherty could be a Lebron for the MLB and really get the MLB onto the path of speaking out against social injustices. It’ll be interesting to see how he grows as a player and person, and if the MLB uses him to grow the audience and become more popular.

But man I hope he does this as a Cardinal because I don’t want to face him ever.
