Santos

Tampa Bay is also getting infielders Matt Duffy and Lucius Fox. Santos, a 21-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic, boasts a 2.91 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 44/5 K/BB ratio in 58 2/3 innings (10 starts) this season in Low-A ball. He has a 2.84 ERA in 177 2/3 career minor league frames.

He notched five strikeouts over five scoreless innings as Augusta captured a rain-shortened 2-0 victory. Santos opened the game by retiring the first eight batters he faced. He didn’t allow another base runner after giving up a single to Zach Sullivan in the third inning. Despite a couple rough outings, the 20-year-old boasts an impressive 23 to 2 K/BB as well as a respectable 1.05 WHIP. He’s been in the Giants’ farm system since 2013.
