Episode Details

Juan Valera, a 19-year-old Dominican right-hander, showcased his dominance for High-A Greenville, tossing five scoreless innings with a career-high nine strikeouts. His fastball, sitting at 96-98 mph with cutting action, and pinpoint control, allowed only three baserunners on 56 pitches. After a rough 2025 season, Valera is rebounding strongly in 2026, sporting a 2.16 ERA and 16 strikeouts in two starts. With his swing-and-miss stuff and potential for better command, a jump to Double-A could be imminent.
