Nick Sarianides

Minor League Top Prospects

• 
  Ranked National League #2 prospect in 2014
  A 28th-round pick of the Indians in 2009, Sarianides was released by the club after the 2011 season. He didn't have much more success in his first two years in independent leagues, but it all clicked for the righthander this year. He pairs a 91-94 mph fastball with a vulcan changeup that serves as his out-pitch. Picked up by the Diamondbacks and sent to low Class A South Bend, he held righthanders to a .221 slugging percentage.
