## Resource

Luinder Avila’s fastball screams 98 mph, but his true power explodes in the bullpen—where his ERA plummets and his curveball becomes unhittable. Signed at 16, the Royals’ rising arm has struggled as a starter (ERA near 6.00), but lights out in relief (1.29 ERA rookie year). With the team’s closer spot up for grabs and his stuff built for short bursts, it’s time to lock Avila into the pen—before this season’s lost cause becomes his defining chapter.
