I dropped Medina’s name in yesterday’s post when rotation-mate Ranger Suarez was the Pitcher of the Day. Between the two, they took the electric out of the WV Power bats amassing 20 strikeouts in 14 total innings. Medina picked up a career-high 10 K’s last night. The 20 year-old native out of the Dominican Republic had underwhelming stats last season for short-season Williamsport, but did post a 5-3 record with a 2.92 ERA. Though he’s a raw arm, there was a concern about whether his stuff could miss enough bats to reach a ceiling as a starter. That concern has been quelled so far, with his low 90’s heavy fastball with late action and a ferocious slider now averaging a K an inning. The #16 ranked Phillies prospect also possesses solid control with two very good breaking balls.
