Alexander Vizcaino

Vizcaino is a good breaking ball away from being a top-100 prospect. The 6-foot-1, 172-pound righty has the best changeup in the Yankees' farm system and one of the best in the entire minors. He also boasts a mid-90s fastball that can touch 98 mph. He reached High-A in 2019 and got the invite to the alternate training site this past summer, where the main focus was the development of his slider. In many ways Vizcaino is not too dissimilar to the prospect version of Luis Castillo. After all, Castillo was never ranked as a top-100 prospect due to the fact he was seen as a two-pitch guy. The Yankees think Vizcaino's slider has improved to become a 50-grade pitch, and if that is the case, he should have immediate success at Double-A. A good athlete, the expectation is that Vizcaino will throw enough strikes to start. He turns 24 in May and is on the 40-man roster, so he could move quickly.
