Career Transactions | |
Signed as international free agent by Twins, Aug. 3, 2012; Traded by Twins with RHP Alexis Tapia to Rays for RHP Kevin Jepsen, July 31, 2015. | |
Background | |
Hu was a Twins’ find out of Taiwan who caught the Rays’ eyes with a solid 2015 season that included an effective spot start for Triple-A Rochester. He’s been equally effective in his first full year with the Rays. | |
What to Watch For | |
Hu succeeds because he has a wide variety of solid pitches rather than one dominant one. He will pitch at 91-93 mph (although he has touched 97) and he has an average breaking ball and changeup. |
