If not for a rough start to open the year against Florida, Distasio's numbers would look pretty solid on the season. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound righthander has good stuff, and has shown flashes of pitchability. His fastball works in the low 90s and can sometimes touch higher. His changeup shows promise at times, and can be an effective pitch for him when he's able to bury it down in the zone. Distasio has the body and delivery to profile as a starter, but his stuff will need to continue making progress for him to eventually pitch in the back of a rotation.
