Tayler Saucedo (2-5, 4.38 ERA)
Since Rios’ promotion to Advanced-A Dunedin, Saucedo has filled his spot in the rotation and seems to be getting more comfortable as the season progresses. Saucedo is going through a stretch of four starts with at least five innings pitched and no home runs allowed. His start this week was his best and longest of the season. He went seven scoreless innings with just four hits and a walk against him. Saucedo struck out four batters and lowered his WHIP from 1.31 to 1.23 in just one start.
Saucedo was drafted in round 21 last year and if he can continue to improve and pitch like he is in this stretch, even if it is at the Class A level, he could be a guy that makes Blue Jays scouts look very good.
