While it's way too early to suggest Rosario compares to any big leaguer, I can tell you this much: He's a 6-foot-4, 180-pound right-handed pitcher that has spent the last two seasons pitching for the Mariners team in the Dominican Summer League. In those two seasons he's 11-4 with a 3.01 ERA in 23 starts. In 122.2 innings, he's got great strikeout (112) to walk (40) ratio. To help give you some more information, I asked Indians director of player development Ross Atkins for more specifics and here's what he said (thanks to my trusty tape recorder): "He's young and athletic. He's a strike thrower with a clean delivery and arm. He's also an intelligent and mentally strong individual. He has four pitches (fastball, curve ball, slider, change), three of which are average.''

I know that he is still a teenager, but his numbers look awful impressive thus far. Any chance that this kid becomes the next Joakim Soria (new Kansas City Royals closer) in a few years?
