6 Cleveland Guardians not on the Active Roster that can crack the Postseason Roster

Andrew Walters, RHP

Taken 62nd overall as a competitive balance pick in last year’s draft, the 23-year-old pen arm started his career like MLB The Show 24 “Road to the Show,” as he was fast-tracked to AA Akron to begin his pro career. The former Miami Hurricane gave up 3 runs in 20 innings before earning a late May promotion to Columbus.

After a bit of a rocky start, Walters has recovered to make 6 saves and 5 holds in just 23 AAA appearances. Walters may get a look with the team in September if he continues to produce strong appearances for the Clippers. Walters’ only barrier is the surplus of RHP in the Guards’ bullpen, but with minor cracks showing over the last few weeks, it wouldn’t be fair to Walters to say the pen is set in stone.
