Scouting Report
Balzer signed out of Japan in January of 2023. Instead of playing in the NPB, he signed in the States. However, soon after signing, he had Tommy John surgery. In 2024, he made six appearances in the ACL. Upon his return, he was throwing his fastball between 96 and 100 mph. His sinker sits 93-94 mph. He also has shown the makings of a solid changeup and slider/sweeper. This season in Lake Elsinore, he has pitched in 16 games and 50 innings. He is 1-6 with a 7.92 ERA and has 28 walks to go with 49 strikeouts. The upside is tremendous.
