LA Angels pitching prospect Hector Yan was signed as an international free agent in 2016 and the 20-year old La Romana, Dominican Republic native is now coming into his own in the low minors for the Angels.
Yan pitched for the Low-Single-A Burlington Bees in 2019 and put up eye-popping numbers striking out 148 batters in only 109 innings of work while walking only 52 batters (close to a 3 to 1 K’s to BB ratio). Yan throws four different pitches and will use any and all of them throughout the game. Yan possesses a 95-97 MPH fastball along with a slider, change-up, and a split-fingered pitch that is very nasty.
