2018 DRaysBay Community Prospect No. 19

Previous winner

RHP Chih-Wei Hu (6’0 220, 24 in 2018)

2017 statistics with Tampa Bay: 10 IP, 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 10.0 BB%, 22.5 K%
2017 statistics with Triple-A Durham: 61 2/3 IP, 3.06 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 4.8 BB%, 22.9 K%

After three starts with Durham in 2017, Hu was called up to make his major league debut out of the bullpen in late April. The Rays liked him in relief, and that’s the role he stayed in when he was soon sent back to the minors.
