Drafted in the third round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Iowa Western Community College, Daniel Tillo put together a really good 2019 season that saw him start out at High-A Wilmington. There he made 20 starts while tossing 107.1 innings and striking out 64 batters to the tune of a 3.77 ERA.
From there, he was promoted to Double-A NW Arkansas where he was utilized a bit differently. Tillo made more appearances out of the bullpen than starts but struck out nearly a batter per inning in that role. I caught up with him now that the Naturals’ season is over.
