Mets fans, who is this demon???

                                 Luis Moreno

25 /yrs old               5-8                  170                 2018 IFA

2024 – AAA/AA:    3-9   4.77   109.1-IP   114-K   48-BB

Career (5 seasons) -   27-28   4.39   465-IP   452-K   234-BB

Gaining attention in this year’s winter league

Named rookie of the Year in 2024-25 for the Estrella Orientales – 1.83, 0.97, 37-K in 39.1-IP

Mid-90s fastball

Standout curve with spin rates that exceed 3000 rpms – significant vertical break (over 60 inches) – one of the best in the Mets system

Strong strikeout ability 

            Mack – I show Brandon Sproat, Blade Tidwell, Justin Jarvas, Jonathan Pintaro, and Dom Hamel as my 5-man Syracuse rotation come opening day. For me, Moreno hasn’t put up the kind of numbers needed to crack this, unless someone goes down or they go to a 6-man rotation.

Then comes this stellar winter record so who knows?

I like Moreno. Have seen him pitch in AA and he had some very good outings. In the 2023 AA playoffs, he opened the series with five no-hit innings so he has proven that he can pitch in big moments.

I have him currently as the Syracuse SP5

I will defer to those that know him better, but to me this is a non-prospect. Seems the slower he throws it the harder they swing and thus miss it. At this point, add a knuckleball to the mix and keep the hitters guessing.
