Fastball 45 88-90 91 Cutter with considerable gloveside movement; Movement and decpetion make it difficult to square; Worked corners successfully at times; Rather mess around then go after hitters.

Slider 50 80-81   Average tilt; Produced late swings and weak contact; Average sharpness; Sweeps the pitch in and then out of the zone; More effective vs. RHH; Hitters swing and miss by chasing; Plays more to weak contact at higher levels.

Overall

Suero closes ballgames for Harrisburg and shows some capability to be a middle-relief option because of the quirkiness, deception and movement in his pitching profile. He’s already 25 years old so there isn’t much projectability left, he kind of is what he is, which is a quality minor league relief arm who uses deception and movement effectively. However, he lacks the pure stuff to be anything more than an average relief pitcher at best.

Control: 50/50
Command: 50/50
