Emilio Vargas is an interesting prospect. The Diamondbacks signed him in 2013 out of the Dominican Republic and is pitching his first season in full season ball. He’s had mixed results, although more positive lately. Tonight, he flirted with the Midwest League All-Time Strikeout Record. He wound up recording 17 strikeouts in 8+ innings in a 4-2 win for Kane County. That performance earned him a game score of 95.
