Fuentes when he signed threw 84-88 mph, with a curve and change.  A lot of the attraction with him was projection.

DNP

2021
DSL:  0-0-1, 5.40 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 18.1 IP, 7.9 BB/9, 6.4 K/9

Fuentes pitched mostly in relief and struggled with his control.  He also didn’t miss a lot of bats.

Fuentes was ineffective most of the time.

If Fuentes is still around in 2023, it’ll be back in the DSL.
