Physical Description: Undersized
left-hander with some potential to add strength, but not much projection
due to his height. Has already added significant weight since he signed.
Mechanics: Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot,
setting up on the third base side of the rubber. Effort in his delivery,
which he struggles to repeat.
Fastball: Fastball
sits 91-93 mph, with life. Pitch has shown bat-missing ability in the low
minors. Below-average control and command.
Curveball:
Velocity varies from 70-72 mph to 76-78 mph with long, sweeping, 1-to-7
break. Pitch shows more potential at the high velocity range. Throws the
curveball often, in any count, and works it in and out of the zone.
Changeup: 83-84 mph. On the firm side. Tends to
telegraph by slowing his arm down.
Career
Notes: Pitched in the Venezuelan Development Program in 2017.
After struggling in the rotation in 2017, has been much better in a relief
role. Cut walk rate in 2019 but allowed a corresponding jump in hits. Had
IL stints in 2019 of about two weeks for left biceps tendinitis and about
three weeks for left shoulder impingement syndrome.
Summation: Potential organizational bullpen depth. Ceiling of an
up-and-down reliever. Has shown significant bat-missing ability in the low
minors and steady improvement year after year. Secondary pitches and
command and control need refinement. Wide range of outcomes.
