Luis Nunez

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Minnesota Twins #31 prospect in 2012
  Nunez has one of the Twins system's liveliest arms. Though he has a small frame, his fast arm and maximum-effort delivery produce a fastball that sits in the low 90s, reaches 95 mph and has good movement. He also has the hand speed to spin a quality breaking ball, a hard slurve with some depth. His delivery helps produce good angle on both of his pitches, and he hasn't given up a home run in 61 innings in the United States. He doesn't have much feel for changing speeds and doesn't repeat his delivery consistently, but he found the strike zone more consistently in 2011. The Twins intend to move him strictly as a reliever, and he figures to earn more save opportunities in low Class A this year if he keeps throwing strikes.
