Youth on the Hill... (Right-Handed Pitchers)

Youth on the hill... (right handed pitchers)

Alex Reyes in only 21 years old. However, he has been signed to a major league baseball contract since 2012. The St.Louis Cardinals have him listed as their most valued pitching prospect in their farm system and they will continue to allow his skills to progress. With a fastball in the mid-90's and a hard biting off-speed pitch, minor league hitters swing and miss often. He is the third ranked right-handed pitching prospect according to Major League Baseball.

From the batters box, a 6'8" pitcher can seem like he is standing on a mountain throwing down at you. That is why the Pittsburgh Pirates value their righty, Tyler Glasnow, very highly. He brings a fastball that can reach the upper-90's. Tyler throws a curveball and change-up that are scouted as needing work, but already both are noted to be average by Major League standards. Glasnow is ranked second among right-handed minor league pitchers and is expected to break into the MLB in the near future.

Throwing a baseball 100 miles per hour is an accomplishment that most only dream about. Lucas Giolito can touch the century mark with his fastball, and brings a devastating curveball that can make the best hitters off balance. As the number one right-handed prospect, the Washington Nationals believe that this 21-year-old can develop into an ace pitcher that will strengthen their already dominant pitching rotation.
