It’s been a slow climb for Medrano, who signed with the Rangers and was traded to the Reds for international bonus pool money in February 2018. The fourth-year pro won Pioneer League pitcher of the year honors after hitting a turning point in extended spring training, when his fastball and changeup became sharper.
Medrano’s fastball sits 93 mph and touches 95 mph, and it comes out of his hand clean. His out-pitch is a changeup he throws with the same delivery as his fastball. It’s a plus pitch that dives down in the zone and draws swings and misses, and he can throw it in any count. He rounds out his arsenal with an average slider that has downer action.
The other key to Medrano’s success is his projected plus command. He has a good feel to pitch and projects as a reliable back-end starter.
