Fresh off an impressive first stint in the majors, Raisel Iglesias of the Cincinnati Reds looks ready to put together a very strong 2016 campaign. With a projected ADP of 137 (per fantasypros.com), Iglesias is undervalued and is a strong breakout candidate among starting pitchers this upcoming season.

2015 In Review and 2016 Outlook

The Cuban-born pitcher, 26, is entering his first full season in the big leagues and should be one of the bright spots in Cincinnati's rotation. He finished 2015 appearing in 18 games (16 of them being starts) racking up a solid 4.15 ERA in 95.1 innings pitched. His 3.55 FIP, though, indicates that his defense let him down this past season and he actually performed better than his ERA would indicate.

What jumps out about Iglesias is his ability to strike people out. He finished 2015 with a sparkling 9.8 K/9 rate, which is incredible for any starting pitcher. Furthermore, his delivery is incredibly deceptive. The righty possesses a solid three pitch mix: a fastball, a nice changeup, and his nasty slider which serves as his outpitch. His 26.3 K% is a testament to his ability to miss bats. Just to put that number in perspective, that's a higher K% than Clayton Kershaw had in 2013 and he won the Cy Young Award that season!

Conclusion

With a guaranteed spot in the rotation and some MLB experience already in the bank, make sure to keep Iglesias in mind during the late rounds of your draft as he looks to be a bargain.
