Who should be No. 11? New lex Reyes Jersey ,25commentsThe top international arm in the Tribe system had a breakout year in 2018.ESTShareTweetShareShareLuis Oviedo is our No. 10 Cleveland Indians prospect. Who should be No. 11? TwitterStrikeout artist Luis Oviedo is our No. 10 Cleveland Indians prospect for 2019, improving massively from not being ranked at all last year.And it make sense that Oviedo wasn’t ranked heading into last year. Signed out of Venezuela in 2015, Oviedo had a 7.14 ERA in his stateside debut in the Arizona Rookie League, although if one peered a little closer at those numbers, they may have seen some future potential in his 12.19 K/9. I also heard that the Indians coaches and training staff limited Oviedo’s arsenal in 2017, having him focus on developing some of his other pitches during games.That focus paid off when Oviedo’s full talent was unleashed last season in his debut for the Low-A Mahoning Valley Scrappers. In his second start, he tossed 6.0 shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out seven batters and walking none. In start number three, he allowed one run on two hits in 6.0 innings while striking out a career-high 12 batters. Start number four was 7.0 shutout innings with seven more whiffs and no walks and he capped off his run of dominance with 5.0 innings without allowing an earned run while striking out six.Oviedo was so dominant during this stretch that he was named the Pitcher of the Week for the New York Penn League three straight times, the weeks of 6/24/18, 7/1/18 and 7/8/18.After just nine starts in Low-A, Oviedo was promoted to full season Single-A Lake County. Perhaps tired or just facing stiffer competition, Oviedo’s stuff wasn’t nearly as dominant in his two starts for the Captains, although he did manage to earn a win and hold opposing offenses to a 3.00 ERA.Standing 6-foot-4, Oviedo’s fastball sits in the low to mid-90s and he can occasionally touch the upper 90s. He also possesses a slider, curveball and change-up, which can all make opposing hitters miss. If he can continue to develop his command of all four pitches, he has the potential to be a front of the rotation starter. This will be a big year for Oviedo as he’ll have his arm tested over the course of a full season for the first time. If he can prove his run at Low-A can be repeated at the upper levels, he might vault into becoming the No. 1 pitching prospect in the system.WHO SHOULD BE THE NO. 11 PROSPECT FOR 2019?Lenny Torres, RHP (Age 18)2018 (R): 5 GS, 15.1 IP, 34.9 K%, 6.4 BB% Evan Longoria Jersey , 1.76 ERA, 2.38 FIPIndians 2018 first round competitive balance pick was completely unfazed in pro debut, pounding the strike zone and missing bats with a mid to upper 90s fastball and a potentially wicked slider.Sam Hentges, LHP (Age 22)2018 (A+): 23 GS, 118.1 IP, 24.2 K%, 10.5 BB%, 3.27 ERA, 3.21 FIPThe six-foot-six southpaw didn’t miss a beat in his first full season since 2016 Tommy John surgery and Indians showed faith in him by adding him to the 40-man roster to avoid the Rule 5 draft.Daniel Johnson, OF (Age 23)2018 (R): 24 PA, .300/.417/.450, 1 HR, 1 SB, 8.3 BB%, 8.3 K%, 152 wRC+2018 (AA): 391 PA, .267/.321/.410, 6 HR, 21 SB, 5.9 BB%, 23.0 K%, 103 wRC+Acquired in the Yan Gomes trade, Johnson possesses plus speed Dustin McGowan Jersey , arm strength and power from the outfield.

Murray-USA TODAY SportsIf familiar with this series go ahead and skip to poll. If not, please read on.This series of articles will run from now until shortly before opening day. The purpose is to crowd source the D-Backs fans of this website to get a sense of how they feel about the prospects of each individual player on the 40 man roster. For this exercise I will only be using rate (average) stats and poll the readers on their sense of direction for that player’s level of basic performance, regardless of playing time expectations.I’m not including defense and base running, so no WAR here, as that is playing time dependent. You will be given two poll options:The player will either exceed the projection or under perform the projection by 5% for hitters OPS or 10% for pitchers ERA/FIP.There is no middle option to vote on. (Otherwise the majority of votes would end up agreeing with the projection).What I am looking for is if you are forced to indicate your sense of direction for the player, is it well over or under the projection?Other Points of note:Projections are the average of Steamer and ZIPS projections.(Click through for original tables)The projections draw on 3 or 4 year samples, weighting most recent seasons the heaviest, but I’m just showing 2018 and career statsin mini table below for simplicityThe player’s name is high lighted with a link to the player’s Baseball-Reference page.Click on that to see more player history and detailAge is the 2019 player age.Polls will run until mid March, so if you miss a player,you can go to the story stream box on the front page andfind a player you might have missed .Please let us know in the comments section your thoughts behind your vote. Thanks !CONTEXTJOHN RYAN MURPHY Age 28John Ryan Murphy has a projection for a .632 OPS. Is he likely to come in over or under ?
