Bats/Throws: R/R
Height/Weight: 6’3”, 185 lbs
Acquired: NDFA
Born: 10/10/89 (Santo Domingo, DR)
Why Ranked Here: Familia ranks here on the basis of a nice pitcher’s frame and a fastball that boasts average to plus MLB velocity already. Familia, despite inconsistent velocity, consistently threw strikes. In his first start of the year, Familia was throwing 93, 94 mph while that was down to 89-92 in his second appearance. The previous fall, scouts reported that he was consistently in the mid-90s. Familia’s off-speed stuff, a slider at 78 mph and a change at 84 are both about as far away from MLB caliber as one might expect from a 19-year old.
2008: Familia had a nice 11 start run in the GCL, striking out almost three times as many batters as he walked and walking fewer than 2.3 batters per nine innings.
Dr. Pangloss Says: Familia’s potential plus fastball and youth allow one to dream of seeing him in a big league rotation a few years from now.
On the Flipside: Familia is largely fastball and size. He is a long way away.
Projected 2009 Start: Savannah or XST on the way to the Kingsport rotation
