MINORS FINAL 7/3: Dykstra Makes His Early Mark

[rico43]

The next player you've never heard of likely to climb onto the Braves' top prospect list is a right-handed reliever by the name of Ramon Moreno. A surprisingly old 24, the Dominican has been the backbone of the Braves' best DSL team in recent memory. He has appeared in 13 games so far, with a 2-1 record and seven saves, including five in his last eight appearances.

Boy throws strikes: only one walk in 15 innings vs. 11 strikeouts, but 13 hits allowed. He gave up four of those hits in one bat outing June 17, and has not allowed one in his last five outings. Why so old for a DSL rookie? The media guide sheds no light on his, as he signed as a FA in December, likely out of a tryout camp. He is quite probably a literal rags to riches story if he continues to mow hitters down. Wish we knew more about the DSL guys!
