Domingo Acevedo is pumping fastballs down the heart of the
plate in the Arizona Fall League these days and has drawn some pretty elite
comparisons over the past week or so. Acevedo’s delivery, both in length of
delivery and difficulty of delivery, is being compared to a young Dellin
Betances. As you remember Betances was a starter for the New York Yankees
before being shifted into the bullpen due to the fact that he ran out of minor
league options, that move worked out pretty well for Betances and for the Yankees.
If Acevedo can become half the pitcher that Betances is then
New York has yet another special arm in their system and on their way to the
Major Leagues. Acevedo hasn’t dominated AFL hitting just yet, although the AFL
tends to lean towards the offensive pieces rather than the defensive and
pitching pieces, but he will. Just give him time.
