#28 prospect per Fangraphs:

The stocky, 22-year-old Ferrer is a hard-throwing relief-only prospect with a short-armed, upright delivery. He sits 94-96 mph with sink and has a changeup that plays nicely off the fastball. He’s one of the many mid-minors pitchers in this org tracking like a low-variance middle reliever.

Figured since he's in the futures game he should get a thread, got promoted earlier this year to Wilmington where he's thrown 20.1 innings with a 1.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP.  20Ks, 8BB, 5 saves in 6 opportunities.

Maybe we see him in 2023?

Beat me to it. Stupid made up meetings I had this afternoon... Really impressive K/BB ratio from the Dominican League all the way up. Definitely someone to keep tabs on.

continuing to pitch well since getting promoted to Wilmington - 24.1 IP, 2.22 ERA / 1.03 WHIP, 26Ks, 8BBs, struck out the side in one inning of work yesterday.

Yeah, I almost made a Cyrano reference the first time I saw the name

after a 1 2/3rds of perfect ball with 2Ks yesterday for a save, he's now at 2.01 / 1.05 since getting promoted to Wilmington with 6 saves in 8 opportunities. 33Ks, 8BBs, in 31.1 IP

[imref]

Still cruising at Wilmington overall (38.2 IP, 2.73 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 43K, 9BB) but has given up runs in 3 of his last 4 appearances. He's pitching roughly every 3-4 days.

Promoted to AA. I read he was touching 98-99 in his last outing in Wilmington. Excited to see if he can translate to AA
