Track Record: Signed out of the Dominican Republic during the 2021 international signing period, Ullola first popped during that year's Dominican Summer League season. He struck out 34 batters in 21 innings before coming to the U.S. and making two appearances in the Florida Complex League. In 2022, Ullola was assigned to Low-A Fayetteville in late April and made his full-season debut on May 1. He made 22 appearances, 11 of them starts, and recorded a 3.25 ERA, while allowing a .155 average and striking out 38% of batters. At 19 years old on Opening Day, Ullola was one of the youngest pitchers in a full-season league.
Scouting Report: A fire-breathing dragon in the making, Ullola's current form is heavily centered around his easy plus fastball. He sits 93-95 mph touches 98 at peak. Ullola's fastball creates both heavy riding life and a flat plane of approach to the plate. The combination of velocity, movement and release traits translated to eye-popping whiff numbers against the pitch. Among pitchers who threw 700 or more fastballs in 2022, Ullola's 48% whiff rate was the highest in the minor leagues by nearly eight full percentage points. While Ullola's fastball is plus, his trio of secondaries is still fairly raw. He mixes a mid-80s slider, low-80s curveball and high-80s changeup but struggles to command all of his secondary offerings for long stretches. His command overall is below-average, but it's reasonable to expect improved strike-throwing as Ullola moves up the minor league ladder.
The Future: A tantalizing talent who has drawn comparisons with Cristian Javier from some within the Astros' organization, Ullola has the look of a high-leverage power reliever in the long term, but he will be given every opportunity to start.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Slider: 50. Curveball: 50. Changeup: 40. Control: 45
