Traded to Philadelphia for John McDonald and cash considerations (August 2013)

Scouting Report: Dominican right-hander signed later in the 2009-2010 international signing period. On the older side for an international signee. Fastballs sits 92-93 mph and tops out at 94 mph in shorter bursts. Loses velocity as outings progress due to max-effort delivery. Does not easily generate velocity. Below-average fastball command due to inconsistent release point and lack of fluidity in delivery. Rough overall mechanics that must become smoother to enhance command. He may struggle to reach average fastball command. Also features an 83-86 mph slider with tight rotation. Plus potential and the ability to miss bats with the offering. Feels slider well, but does not mix well into sequences. Still learning how to pitch. Slider's effectiveness is suppressed because of inability to consistently get ahead of hitters. Not much room left on his frame to fill out. Potential for considerable improvement if delivery can be cleaned up.
