Draft League Spotlight: Mason Erla
February 22, 2021
Player: Mason Erla
Position: RHP
School: Michigan State
After going 2-10, 5.49 on the bump in 2019, Erla was dominant in the 2020 abbreviated spring (2-0, 1.04), garnering a deluge of scouting attention in a short period of time. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound righthander showed swing-and-miss stuff, punching out 42 hitters in 26 frames compared to just six walks. He'll sit 93-96 mph early with his riding fastball, touching 97 before settling into the 92-93 range in later innings. Delivered from a low three-quarter delivery, his 78-80 mph frisbee slider flashes average potential while his changeup shows run and sink as a usable third offering.
