Scouting Report: Dominican right-hander signed at the age of 20, after having his first pro contract with the Giants voided by MLB.  Live arm.  Raw with solid potential. Fastball sits 91-95 mph and reportedly can hit 96 mph. Late life. Also throws an 80-82 mph curveball which is a work in progress with solid-average potential. Mid-80s changeup needs a lot of work, only in the experimental stages. Fringe-average command.  Well filled-out frame.
