TGP Prospects Month Top 29 Prospect List - #9 Ian Clarkin

We’ve already introduced you to Ian Clarkin this morning so this post should be a breeze. We told you everything there is to know about him and what he and his left arm bring to the mound. His fastball, his changeup, his curveball, his makeup and his comparisons to great pitchers like Jose Quintana and Clayton Kershaw. Clarkin has all the makings of being a great MLB pitcher, he just has to stay healthy and he just has to do it. It sounds simple enough but some players have been making a career out of making it look hard so who knows.

The talent is there and the will to be the best seems to be there as well. Clarkin’s tenure with the Yankees did not start out on the right foot after he put said foot in his mouth with his pre-draft interviews but it's al’ water under the bridge now. The olive branch has been extended and at the end of it is a long and glorious MLB career for our #9 prospect, Mr. Ian Clarkin.
