Veras won two-thirds of the AZL pitching triple crown, leading the league in ERA (1.35) and wins (eight).

Veras pounded the strike zone with four pitches: low-90s fastball, a slider, a knuckle-curve and a changeup. He was confident enough to throw any pitch in any count. He's athletic, with a quick arm and sound mechanics that he repeats, and he keeps the ball down in the zone.
