Gallen made his MLB debut earlier this season and has posted a 2.72 ERA in seven starts, striking out 43 in 36.1 innings. Chisholm is just 21 and strikes out too much, but has impressive raw power, having hit 18 home runs for Arizona’s AA affiliate thus far in 2019. He is a consensus top-100 prospect in various rankings.
