Ft. Myers, FL – Brusdar Graterol<\/a> has only known domination as a 19-year-old professional. After posting 11.1 K\/9 and 2.18 ERA in the Midwest League, the Minnesota Twins promoted their young phenom to Ft. Myers of the Florida State League. Make no mistake, Graterol is young. He was 3 years younger than the league average in the MWL and is 4 years younger than the average in the FSL. \u00a0The age and lack of experience (less than 100 professional IP) showed itself in his FSL debut.<\/span><\/p>\n

While he\u00a0may be young, Graterol has an adult body. \u00a0Listed at 6\u20191″, 180 lbs, I would say he looks closer to 200. \u00a0His legs and glutes are thick. He looks well put together with still more body projection to attain as he ages. His frame could easily support 225-230 lbs.<\/p>\n

Graterol repeats his delivery well. He has good hip to shoulder separation and generates a high amount of torque. He loads the back leg as he starts his leg kick and his arm action is short and direct. \u00a0There is some head movement after release which isn\u2019t really a concern at the moment because the head is still through the delivery. It appeared to me that he tends to cut his stride a little short and lacks optimal extension at release. But other than that, his delivery is clean and simple.<\/p>\n
