Minor League Top Prospects
Had he not been shut down early with shoulder pain, Santana would have topped the Arizona League in ERA. His 1.61 mark was easily better than leader Danielin Acevedo's (Oakland) 2.17, but Santana fell a third of an inning shy of the required 45 innings to qualify for the title.
He doesn't throw particularly hard, but he's capable of ratcheting his fastball up to 90-91 mph when he needs to and his two-seamer can be unhittable at times. He also confuses hitters by throwing every one of his pitches, including a curveball and changeup, from the same arm slot.
