Royals: Steven Fuentes is a Rule 5 prospect the Royals should consider

The Washington Nationals signed Steven Fuentes out of Panama back in 2013. Since he signed at the age of sixteen he is already available in the Rule 5 draft this year. He has performed at a level thus far in his minor league career to suggest there is a possibility he is an arm the Royals could use in their bullpen right now.

Fuentes is a right-handed pitcher that throws a fastball in the low 90s. He is deceptive enough with his fastball and puts enough sink on it that it is a nearly perfect pitch for inducing groundballs.
