Darius Vines came in hot with an impressive debut at Coors on Wednesday, pitching 6.0 innings of 2 ER ball with 5 K, 1 BB, and 0 HR. The 25 year old rookie has had success in the minors despite a low 90s fastball with a strong changeup and solid slider. While he isn’t likely to turn into a front of the rotation guy, he can be another solid starting option for Atlanta. Atlanta’s system has continued to produce some solid options like this over the last few years, while also hitting on some big prospects, despite being rated as one of the worst farm systems in baseball.
