"He has great command for his age and a good feel for his secondary stuff. Pair that with a plus fastball and you really have something. Pair it to an average at best fastball like he had last year and he has a similar scouting report to about 50 other guys in the minors."

"Arguelles was one of the better young pitching prospects in Cuba, although he's seen only limited action in Cuba's Serie Nacional because of his age and the depth of the Havana pitching staff he was a part of. He has a 90-91 mph fastball that has touched 93 mph and a curveball and changeup that could both end up as average to a tick above-average pitches. He drew some Francisco Liriano comparisons and multiple scouts have told me that he would be a first-round pick if he was eligible for the draft. He has the broad shoulders and muscular build that should allow him to have good durability, although like most young pitchers his control isn't refined yet. He still needs some time in the minors, but he has the potential to be a middle-of-the-rotation lefthander and he has more polish than the average teenage pitcher."
