Dennis Torres is a little older player in the bullpen of the Frederick Keys team. Torres sowed a present average command with both pitches of his arsenal. I do not see much room for improvement but it is possible, with more MiLB work this year and a little next year, his command could get to solid average and then, he would be able to sustain his plus fastball and average curveball for a longer time/have longer prime. Also if that happens, his curveball would play to solid average. Torres will move to AA soon I assume and from there he should reach the majors some time next year.
Drafted: 2012 28th Round, 852 overall
Why: potential bullpen guy; mature build; showed ability to spin curveball; (in 28th round, if he reaches AA, its' a great pick).
Ceiling: Role 50; 7th inning reliever.
