Scouting report

Low-slot righty Justin Topa, an Indy Ball kickback reliever who’s also rehabbed from two TJs, now has a fastball that sits in the upper-90s and features significantly divergent movement from his slider. He’s a decade older than hundreds of players on The Board but has as much roster flexibility and years of control as any of them because of how and when he signed. His delivery’s a little stiff, but Topa has a frame that portends athletic longevity so I don't think he’s subject to immediate physical decline. He is, however, injured again. A flexor tendon strain has him projected to miss most of the 2021 season.
