#11 RHP Gabriel Ynoa (LR: #17)
Bats: R Throws: R
Height: 6′ 2″ Weight: 158 lb
Acquired: 2009 International Signing, Dominican Republic

2013: (A) 10-4, 2.82 ERA, 1.2 BB/9, 7.8 K/9, 1.030 WHIP
2012: (SS-A) 5-2, 2.23 ERA, 1.2 BB/9, 7.5 K/9, 0.926 WHIP
2011: (R) 2-3, 3.21 ERA, 0.6 BB/9, 4.3 K/9, 1.089 WHIP


I'll admit that I may be over-ranking Ynoa here but the facts don't lie. This kid has been mightly impressive over the past 18 months both dominating the NY-Penn League and the South Atlantic League with ease. He probably should be pitching in Port St. Lucie but there are so many good young pitchers in the organization that it's hard to find someone a spot to move up. His BB rate is good, the K rate is suitable, and WHIP is nice and low. The only thing I can honestly quibble about right now is that he's giving up way too many HR's, especially since he plays his home games in Grayson Stadium which is historically one of, if not, the most difficult place to hit for power in the entire United States. I'll say this though....He WILL NOT crack my Top 10 until I either see a crank up in his K rate or he dominates the Eastern League (AA). The former is still possible as he could probably add 3-4 ticks to fastball if he truly is a measly 158 lbs.
