Fifteen thousand dollars.
That was the bonus pitcher Reyes Moronta got at 17 when the Giants signed him as an international free agent. Look at him now, one of the club's top relievers nearly a month into the season.
Moronta, 25, earned his first big-league win Tuesday night, has a 0.64 ERA, can pitch multiple innings and has an arsenal diverse enough to retire right-handed and left-handed hitters just the same.
He has allowed one hit to a left-hander in 19 at-bats. Righties are 3-for-25.
Moronta is not an overnight success. The Giants protected him with a valuable 40-man roster spot before the 2017 season.
