Scouting report
Duplantier had been injury-free since college (where he dealt with shoulder problems) until 2018, when he had hamstring issues in the spring, and biceps tendinitis later in the summer. The lost innings resulted in an Arizona Fall League stint, during which Duplantier was one of the better pitching prospects in the league. Despite the biceps issue, his velocity was fine in the Fall, when he sat 93-96 and showed three good, clearly demarcated secondary pitches. Then 2019 came. Dup's stuff was not as crisp during the spring, and he was shuttled back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues several times; he had a shoulder issue in the middle of the summer and his stuff was down again later in the year. I have nothing on him from Arizona's alt site and I'm not even sure if he pitched there. He sat 91 in his first 2021 spring start. With that kind of velo, he's more likely a fifth starter.
