Ken Waldichuk, who previously was a prospect with the New York Yankees, is vying for a spot in the Oakland A’s starting rotation this spring. However, there is worry that he may be jeopardizing his chance to secure a position.
Since being acquired from the Yankees in the Frankie Montas trade, Waldichuk has struggled with his performance. Over three appearances, he has issued seven walks, allowed nine hits, and recorded just four strikeouts. According to Waldichuk, one of his main issues has been problems with fastball command, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
