Jose Corniell

One of the most underrated pitchers yet to pitch at Double-A, Corniell had a dominant run across Single-A and High-A last season. The 6-foot-3 righty logged a 2.92 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 101.2 innings while staying healthy throughout his age-19/20 season. He primarily works with a 94-mph fastball and a plus 84-mph sweeper, while mixing in an improving changeup and a cutter that was introduced last year. If Corniell had average command, he'd project as a back-end starter, but his above-average to plus command gives him a chance to be more of a No. 3 starter if he can keep refining his changeup. He was added to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection and will head to Double-A this season and doesn't turn 21 until June. Read Past Outlooks
