Nikhazy was picked in the 2nd round of the 2021 MLB Draft.
He has spent part of two seasons in the MLB with the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox.
Over three career games, the 26-year-old has gone 0-1 with a 10.50 ERA.

At his age (and being such a recent high pick), Nikhazy could be a good option for another team in need of pitching depth.
He has only pitched 6.0 innings at the MLB level.
