Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
One of the most underrated pitchers yet to pitch at Double-A, Corniell had a dominant run across Single-A and High-A last season. The 6-foot-3 righty logged a 2.92 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 101.2 innings while staying healthy throughout his age-19/20 season. He primarily works with a 94-mph fastball and a plus 84-mph sweeper, while mixing in an improving changeup and a cutter that was introduced last year. If Corniell had average command, he'd project as a back-end starter, but his above-average to plus command gives him a chance to be more of a No. 3 starter if he can keep refining his changeup. He was added to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection and will head to Double-A this season and doesn't turn 21 until June. Read Past Outlooks

Dealing with elbow inflammation
Corniell will open the season on Double-A Frisco's 7-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old righty has outstanding control for his age (7.3 percent walk rate in 58.1 innings at High-A Hickory in 2023) and a quality four-pitch mix headlined by a 94 mile-per-hour fastball and an 84 mph sweeper. The fact he was assigned to Double-A before turning 21 illustrates how advanced Corniell is, but the elbow injury could be the first big setback of his young career. Per Callis, Corniell is expected back in early June.
