Luis Miguel Madrazo measures 6.4 and effectively controls six pitches. The right-handed pitcher emigrated to the Dominican Republic with his sights set on jumping into professional baseball.
A native of Puerto Padre, in Las Tunas, Madrazo was recently at the "showcase", where the right-hander Norge Vera and several agents were evaluated. Several scouts believe that he even looked better than the Santiago prospect who reached a pre-agreement with the Chicago White Sox.
Madrazo's maximum speed was set at 94 miles. In addition to mastering a curveball, slider, changeup, sinker and fork, the fastball regularly sat between 90-92 mph.
The 20-year-old Cuban is represented by Movement Management Group, the same agency that recently secured a contract extension for Yoan Moncada with the Chicago White Sox.
Madrazo has all the weapons of a professional pitcher. I know that when he fills out his 6.4 feet and his weight approaches 200 pounds (now it is at 180) the velocity must increase much more, something that with the repertoire and the exit angle can become deadly for hitters.
His performance in the National Series with the Las Tunas Lumberjacks in the 57th National Series was five innings, 1.80 ERA, four strikeouts and they hit .176.
