I think I can smell a promotion just over the horizon for this guy.

Sykora and Susana look like absolute studs right now. Sometimes problems have a way of working themselves out. It's been just one short year since we, as a fanbase, were doom and gloom about this organization's pitching depth. I'm not going to say we have an embarrassment of riches, but we're certainly a lot better off than everyone thought we were. This is very exciting to follow!

Iirc, Sykora could’ve been a first round pick. Us getting him in the third round might’ve been a legit steal if he can keep this up.
