no. 8 PuRPs)<\/a>. While his four-seam fastball\u2019s low velocity is still a concern, Sullivan has impressed with his arsenal of deception and breaking pitches so far this spring. In four outings and 6 2\/3 innings of work he has given up two earned runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and three walks. Although it\u2019s unlikely Sullivan breaks camp on the big league roster, a wide-open competition for the fifth rotation spot and continued opportunities to show off his skills this spring make it less than impossible.<\/p>\nStarting for the Diamondbacks in a bit of a reunion is right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke. After starting his career with the Diamondbacks, Clarke spent the last three seasons with the Kansas City Royals before returning to the desert this off-season in free agency. Clarke has yet to give up an earned run this spring training with two strikeouts over four innings of work. Clarke operates with a four pitch mix and excels at avoiding walks. His primary offering is a mid-to-high 80s slider with strong glove side break.<\/p>\n
