Looks like he has pretty good stuff.

Sparkman’s repertoire includes a good breaking ball, a good change-up and a fastball that can reach 95 mph. Atkins considers the former Royals prospect a strike thrower with an athletic delivery, a combination that will give him the chance to make the Blue Jays’ bullpen out of spring training.

Sparkman, a 20th round pick in the 2013 draft, underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015, but he returned to action in June of 2016. In 16 starts across four minor league levels this past season, he posted a 5.22 ERA but struck out 65 batters in 60.1 innings while walking just 10.

I love the idea of the Rule 5 draft.
