Suarez has helped lead Miami to its best season since 2008, and in the process he has helped his draft stock significantly by remaining healthy. He was a high-profile recruit for the Hurricanes who was an unsigned Blue Jays ninth-round pick in 2011. He missed most of his freshman year with a shoulder injury that required labrum surgery but has pitched more than 170 innings since, flashing above-average stuff while regularly pitching with above-average control. Suarez's fastball was up to 95 mph last fall, with a commensurate jump in slider velocity to the low- to mid-80s. He hasn't maintained that power pitching every weekend this spring, pitching with average fastball velocity more regularly at 88-91 while flashing plus with the slider, topping out at 83. He has a good feel for the changeup and has pounded the strike zone all spring. If Suarez can regain his fall power while still throwing boatloads of strikes, he has a mid-rotation ceiling. As he is now, he offers a polished strike thrower with a back-of-the-rotation profile.
