Didier Fuentes Continues Impressive Run With Nine Punchouts
5 months agoAtlanta Braves starting pitching prospect Didier Fuentes continued his strong run at Single-A on Wednesday by tossing six shutout frames with nine strikeouts. He allowed just four hits and no walks. Since June 12, Fuentes has logged 20 ⅔ innings across four starts and has held a near-perfect 0.44 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and a 6:26 BB:K ratio. After struggling with a hefty 7.27 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 26 Single-A frames last summer, the 19-year-old has responded very well with a much-improved 2.26 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 55 ⅔ innings this season. Fuentes currently sits outside the Atlanta top 30 prospects on MLB.com but could join this list as he progresses through the lower levels of the minor leagues.
