  • Keep an eye on this guy DePaula

    Most of you guys on here have probably heard of him and some of you saw him in my rank my AL prospect post.

    If you're in a keeper league or dynasty where you can hold onto minor league players. Picked this guy up at the end of my reserve draft this year in my AL only after I read that he finally was cleared to pitch in the U.S.

    NYY Raphael DePaula is in single A. Control is an issue, but K's a ton and is really hard to hit. I really want to see how he does at the next level, so hoping to see a promotion soon, but I've read where they need him to work on his secondary pitches first, so maybe a move up late this year I hope.

    3-2 / 2.70era / 1.11whip / 33.1inng / 58K's / 16bb/ .178avg against

    Last night 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 B, 12 K, WP - 58 strikeouts in 33.1 IP this year

    The reviews on him are pretty good and he's a lot older then most at single A (age 22, 6'2 212) and may move quickly

    I believe he could be among the top prospects in baseball by the end of this season. High Ceiling type guy.

    I'm keeping an eye on him also. Law or one of the other prominent prospect evaluators mentioned that there's a good chance De Paula ends up a reliever. Regardless, he's one of the guys I would like to roster soon.

      ugh, just noticed .38 gb/fb. And this is at single A, not even A+.

        last three starts: 14/5 k/bb over 15 ip. As an extreme flyball pitcher, he needs to have a super high k rate to survive.

          Yankee "prospect". Not necessarily a real one, and even if he is, he's a very long way from the majors.
