Top 50 Prospects: #33 – Randall Delgado
#33 Randall Delgado
Atlanta Braves
DOB: 2/9/1090
Previous Rank: N/R
ETA: 2012
Delgado was the Braves’ strongest pitcher down the stretch, posting a 2.83 ERA in seven starts. His ratios in Atlanta were trash, but they were far better in Double-A and Triple-A. His ERA across two stops was under four and he nearly struck out a guy an inning over 139 innings pitched. He walked too many guys, but for a 21-year-old who already has seven Big League starts under his belt, who really cares?

He has three average or better pitches including a fastball that can reach 97 mph and consistently sits in the 92-94 mph range. His curveball is an easy 60, and his changeup shows the promise of being an adequate to average third pitch. Delgado never really has to be more than a No. 3 starter in Atlanta, but he profiles as a No. 2 or even a No. 1 contingent upon how far he is able to come in terms of command and development of his changeup.
There is really nothing left for Delgado to prove in the Minors, but given the fact that he walked 14 guys in his 35 innings for Atlanta, the Panamanian might start several games for Gwinnett to open 2012.
