Arauz

Arauz, 23, registered a 4.69 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 125/44 K/BB ratio over 140 innings (26 starts) this past year between the Double-A and Triple-A affiliates of the Phillies. Philly acquired him from the Astros back in 2015 as part of a trade involving Vince Velasquez, Ken Giles, and Mark Appel, among others.

The 20-year-old hurler spent the entire 2015 campaign at Low-A Tri-City where he compiled a 5.75 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 52/18 K/BB ratio in 51 2/3 innings across 10 starts and five relief appearances. He’s much more of a project than he is a finished product at this point.
