Yilber Diaz Tallies Season-High 11 Punchouts In Seven Scoreless Frames
7 months agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitching prospect Yilber Diaz posted his best start of the season on Thursday evening when he threw seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits and tallying eleven punchouts. This outing raises Diaz's strikeout total to an eye-catching 42 in just 25 innings. The 23-year-old sits with a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in his first full taste of Double-A after making just three starts last season. Diaz is not projected to reach the major leagues until 2025 but could make a push for a late-season promotion, especially if he can reach Triple-A quickly. With his elite strikeout potential, dynasty managers should closely monitor his development this summer.
