Signed by the Rangers in 2010, de los Santos saw his career take off in 2013 after he moved from the rotation to the bullpen. He joined the Nationals in December 2014 along with second baseman Chris Bostick in exchange for Ross Detwiler, and de los Santos reached the big leagues in his first season with his new organization. He has a full four-pitch arsenal but primarily attacks hitters with his fastball and curveball. His heater can reach the mid-90s, but more typically sits a touch below that velocity. His curveball can be an out pitch, while his slider and changeup help him combat lefthanders. His delivery features some deception, and he does a good job of throwing strikes. De los Santos probably will compete for a spot in the big league bullpen in 2016, and he will be in line for another callup at some point during the season if he doesn't go north with the team.
