Valencia Stars: Draft 1-3 rounds # 1

Post by leejay56 » Sat Sep 22, 2018 12:33 am

The Stars this season in the draft through the first 3 rounds went with pitching as they needed more depth.

The Stars pick number 1 at the 5th pick drafted SP Pepe Hernandez. Hernandez is 19, throws 92-94, has 3 very good pitches. His changeup is his out pitch with a solid cutter and splitter Hernandez was rated one of the top pitchers in this draft. Hernandez projects to be a front of the rotation starter..

The Stars number 2 pick is Closer Luis Gonzales. Gonzales is a 19 year old left handed potential closer. Gonzales has 2 solid pitchers, a wicked curveball and his fastball is very good too. Gonzales could develop into a dominate closer in the future.

The Stars number 3 pick Rafael Torres is another RP who throws 91-93 who is 17 years old. Torres has an off the charts cutter with a great curve ball that will generate allot of swings and misses. Torres could end up as a setup man and still get plenty of saves....

Pepe will be amazing if that changeup doesn't get stuck!
