Blue Jays Sign Mexican Pitcher Guadalupe Chavez
July 11, 2014 by Ben Badler
The Blue Jays have signed 16-year-old Mexican righthander Guadalupe Chavez from Quintana Roo of the Mexican League. Chavez is a former outfielder who has developed into one of the better young pitching prospects in Mexico. He’s a good athlete with a skinny 6-foot-2, 150-pound frame and already throws up to 93 mph while flashing an above-average changeup that’s ahead of his curveball, with good pitchability for his experience level.
