Mayers immediately contributed as a member of the weekend rotation in 2023 and again headlined the Colonels’ rotation this spring. While his stuff is big, his ERA ballooned to 4.58 due in large part to the 76 walks he issued across 70.2 innings. Mayers relies heavily on a 93-96 mph fastball that has been up to 97 and averaged over 24 inches of ride. Mayers’ slider has shown promise in its limited usage and could be a plus pitch down the road. As he heads to Baton Rouge, Mayers will need to continue to develop his secondary offerings and drastically improve in the strike-throwing department.
