July 19, 20178 yr Nelson Acosta was an under the radar guy I had my eye on after he put up good numbers in the DSL for a few years. Seemingly too advanced for that league and turning 20 in August, I assumed he'd be assigned to a stateside rookie affiliate this season. However, he's repeating the DSL for the fourth straight year and the wheels seem to have come off, as he now has an ERA over 9, a WHIP over 2 and is allowing over 10 walks per 9. My point is, it's difficult to "stat scout" these guys when there's little to nothing else to go off, like actual scouting reports.

He's the only guy I know of aside from Pineda's brother on DSL.

There is zero point trying to look at numbers a pick pitchers at age 16. These guys are all essentially draft and follows at this stage. I wouldn't worry about any of them until they at least get state side.
