Juan Oramas, SP, SD

Anyone got any info on this guy? Looks like he has great numbers other than his g/f ratio especially for being in the Cal league and only being 20. He has a great K/BB ratio and has only walked about 2-3 guys per 9 innings. I looked through BA's international scouting reports for the past few years and couldn't find anything either. I was just wondering what his pitches graded at and what his potential ceiling could be.

This is from Jim Callis-Baseball America

Oramas signed out of Mexico in November 2006 and spent his first two pro seasons in the DSL, going 5-5, 2.43 with 133 strikeouts in 107 innings. He doesn’t have a classic body at 5-foot-10 and 215 pounds, but he has a precocious feel for pitching. He does an excellent job of changing speeds and working all the corners of the strike zone. His fastball has gained velocity each year and now sits at 88-90 mph, and he also throws an average curveball and a work-in-progress changeup.

In terms of quality of play, the Mexican League resembles independent league more than Triple-A ball. It’s not loaded with major league prospects but it does provide a stern test for a younger player.
