Mariner fans were able to catch a glimpse of Pagan as he pitched for Team Puerto Rico in the 2017 World Baseball Classic (video below). Standing at 6’3″ 210 lbs, the 25-year-old career reliever could make his big league debut in 2017.
He has a solid fastball, that sits in the low 90’s with good sink that can hit 96 when he reaches back. Pagan has some deception in his delivery, making his fastball play up. His best off-speed pitch is his nasty slider. Its great plane and tilt make it a true “out pitch”.
Pagan has 269 career strikeouts in 225.
