If anybody needs a hidden gem pitching prospect I think I got one for you. Angels prospect Tim Schoeninger. He was drafted in the 23rd round last year out of Nevada-Reno. He has excellent control and is dominating at lo-A Cedar Rapids.
Tonight he just threw a complete game 4 hitter against Great Lakes with 8 strikeouts and no walks. On the season he is 3-0 with a 2.14 era and an 18/1 strikeout to walk ratio in 21 innings. Last year in rookie ball he went 6-2 with a 1.79 era, with a 64/4 strikeout to walk ratio in 75 innings.
I know he's a 22 year old college pitcher in lo-A, but as John might say, "these guys can sneak up on you." And an 82/5 strikeout to walk ratio in 99 career professional innings is pretty darn good no matter who you are. Just food for thought.
