BA Grade/Risk: 45/High
Track Record: Suarez was a bit of a late-bloomer. The Marlins are one of the more patient teams on the international amateur market, so when Suarez showed quality stuff as a 17-year-old, they were well positioned to sign him for $385,000. He made his pro debut just 10 days after he signed and quickly established himself as one of the best pitchers in the Dominican Summer League. The Rays acquired him as part of a four-player deal that sent Xavier Edwards and J.T. Chargois to the Marlins.
Scouting Report: Suarez is an extremely well-rounded pitching prospect with a chance to have three average or better pitches and above-average control and command. Suarez's maturity, clean arm action and athleticism make it easy for scouts to see him developing as a starting pitcher. He already shows feel for getting ahead of hitters thanks to his ability to land his curveball for strikes and he has a 92-95 mph fastball with the ride to work up in the zone. His changeup is less developed, but has enough promise to project as a future average pitch.
The Future: As soon as he became a Ray, Suarez became one of the team's best young pitching prospects. It's reasonable to expect him to make further velocity gains as he matures. He projects as a solid No. 4 starting pitcher.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Curveball: 55. Changeup: 50. Control: 60.
