Joel Carreno

The Blue Jays have taken their time with Carreno after signing him as a 19-year-old. He spent last year as a 24-year-old at Double-A New Hampshire and flashed a nice strikeout rate (10.2 K/9IP) but struggled with his control (4.5 BB/9IP) against the advanced competition. He still managed a 1.248 WHIP despite the control issues and skipped Triple-A before getting called up to the Jays in August. He has low-90s velocity and decent secondary offerings with a slider and changeup but his future is likely in a relief role. Look for him to start the season in Triple-A Las Vegas.
