Background
Rios is a fast mover. The 21-year-old was so dominant in his first six starts in full season ball with Lansing that he earned a quick promotion to Dunedin.
What to Watch For
Rios’ fastball has gotten better and better. It now sits 92-94 mph and he pairs it with an above-average curveball. He’s working on improving his changeup.
