Prompted by something I read yesterday, I bring you a brief addendum to the big prospect list I’m currently slogging through. We have three pitchers, all of whom I find intriguing as relatively near-term potential relievers.
6’4”, 185 lbs; Bats/Throws: Right/Right
DOB: 16 January 1992; Drafted Rd 9 2014
Level(s) in 2017: Memphis (Triple A)
So, what’s so great about this guy?
Here’s the thing: Daniel Poncedeleon is really the reason this column exists. I debated back and forth whether to include him in these write ups, as he was actually a pitcher I quite liked in the past, and would ordinarily have been an easy decision to include somewhere.
