Could Wei-Chieh Huang Crack the Texas Rangers Bullpen?

Right at the trade deadline last season, the Texas Rangers sent lefty reliever Jake Diekman to the Arizona Diamondbacks and part of the return was reliever and pitching prospect, Wei-Chieh Huang. Huang, 25, is a Taiwanese pitcher who spent 2018 between High-A and Double-A partially with the Diamondbacks organization and partially with the Rangers.

In High-A ball, Huang made 19 appearances out of the bullpen throwing 31.1 innings and striking out an impressive 46 while posting a 2.59 ERA. He got the promotion to the D-Backs Double-A club and made 10 appearances including 2 starts. A WHIP of 1.
