Cleveland Guardians newly promoted left-handed starter, Parker Messick had an outstanding debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The latest product of the Guardians' pitching factory is making his first MLB start today. Here's what to know about him.

Keith Law of the Athletic wrote on Messick this spring: “Messick is a stout-bodied lefty with fringy stuff and a lot of deception, working with a 55 changeup and average velocity” ranking him 11th in the Guardians’ system and projecting him as a fourth starter.
