2 years agoSan Francisco Giants relief pitching prospect Willian Suarez has made a slow progression through the minors since being signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2015. It wasn't until this year that he reached affiliated ball, earning the nod to Single-A San Jose back on Aug. 9. Suarez is a hard-throwing reliever who gets a whole lot of strikeouts and groundouts. He limits home runs but has historically struggled in the walk department. Suarez put on a show this past week, making three different outings, each lasting two innings. In total, he allowed just two hits, one walk, and zero runs. The icing on the cake? Over these six innings, he struck out a whopping 16 batters. That's right: all but two of his outs came via the strikeout. If the right-hander can keep up this clip, he'll continue to rise through the minors with ease.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
