Luis Medina’s reputation took shape shortly after signing with the Yankees during the 2015 international signing period. His fastball velocity spiked into the triple digits shortly before the July 2nd start of the new international signing period, making it look like the Yankees might have landed him as a bargain during a time when they faced international signing restrictions.
More scouts saw him following his signing, and reports of an above average curveball came in, along with a developing changeup, which landed him high rankings on numerous prospects list. Despite the big hype, Medina has yet to fully tap into his physical tools due to a complete lack of ability to locate his pitches.
