Camilo Doval RHP. DOB: 7/4/1997. 6'2", 185 lbs. International Free Agent 2015.
2018 Low A: 0-3, 3.06, 53 IP, 13.25 K/9, 4.58 BB/9, 11 Saves.
Camilo Doval's first 3 appearances of 2019 were disastrous as he allowed a total of 11 R, 8 ER and 8 BB's in just 1.1 IP. Take out those first 3 games and his ERA the rest of the way was 1.74 and his BB/9 was 3.31. He eventually took over the Closer role. So Doval actually had a much better season statistically for Augusta in 2019 than his overall pitching line would indicate. What's even more exciting is he is one of 3 pitchers in the Giants organization to record at least 1 pitch in triple digits in 2019. On video Doval has a compact, athletic frame with a simple windup that has just a tad of Tim Lincecum in it with a hip turn generating torque from this torso. He has long arm extension in back reminiscent of Madison Bumgarner, then unleashes a very low 3/4, almost sidearm delivery. His pitches are FB, slider, cutter with the cutter grading out highest by Fangraphs scouting report. I suppose as long has he remains on the Closer track, that repertoire is all he needs.
He should move up to San Jose in 2019 where I can't wait to see him pitch in person. Again, from the Closer track he could be a really fast mover in the system, but by my calculations has 2 more seasons before the Giants have to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.

Sounds like San Jose could be an interesting team for prospect watchers. They want Bart and Ramos to start there and they could have interesting pitching prospects like Hjellie, Marte, and Doval. Thanks to your profiles, we get to learn more about these prospects as you go down the list!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LG. This is what the list is all about. Almost everybody knows who Joey Bart is, but that's not necessarily true of guys like Marte and Doval.
