Scouting report
Knack had multiple freak shoulder injuries as an underclassman and had 40-grade velocity in the two years afterward. He took a huge leap as a fifth year senior and struck out 51 hitters while walking just one in 25 innings of work before the 2020 season shut down. He touches 98, has an above-average slider, and was the highest-priority senior sign in the 2020 draft. He went in the second round and could move quickly as a stalwart middle reliever, though it's possible that once he's exposed to pro development, Knack takes yet another leap.
