A great head for pitching while still in his teenage years and a natural ability to be fine with his pitches excited the LA Angels enough to trust in his development through the system. Although he doesn’t have the physical projectability (standing at 5’10) of a big-time starter what he does have is mental prowess and pitchability, and for that reason he’s developed into one of the more projectable pitchers in the Angels organization.
Jose Suarez doesn’t throw hard, in fact his fastball ranges in the 92-93 mph. While that seems like a big deal, what’s truly the bigger deal is his ability to locate hitters to death with his finely tuned accuracy.
