Tony Santillan had a down season in 2019. Since that was approximately 273 years ago, he’s had plenty of time to work out some kinks and have a bounce back 2021. Hopefully his season at the alternate site helped him make those adjustments he was working through in 2019 and he comes back better than ever. Another young hitter joins the mix below.

Where he spent 2020: Alternate site (for a time).
What excites you: A mid-90s fastball when right, two breaking pitches that project to be plus offerings, and very little mileage on an arm that didn’t get on the mound until his senior year in high school.
