Follow the Prospects: Daison Acosta, RHP

[nobleisthyname]

Daison Maquier Acosta
Born 8/24/1998 in Paraiso, Dominican Republic
Acquired from the New York Mets in the Minor League phase of the 2023 Rule 5 Draft

Another relief pitcher who has pitched well in AA so far this season. 51 strikeouts in 33 innings. Made Fangraphs' Nationals' top prospects list at 32.

Acosta last made a prospect list in 2017 when he was a projectable GCL starter in the Mets system. He was one of Washington’s minor league Rule 5 picks during the offseason and is having a strong 2024 at Harrisburg. Acosta will flash a plus slider and split. His command limits their consistency and will likely relegate him to an up/down role, but for a minor league phase Rule 5 selection, that’s pretty good.

Pretty decent numbers. Anyone seen him?

[Elvir Ovcina]

Pretty decent numbers. Anyone seen him?

He closed out Sunday for Harrisburg in Bowie.  Above-average AA reliever but nothing crazy.  Pretty standard reliever repertoire, movement looked a tick above average.  No gun readings on the board there, but fastball looked to be 93-94ish.  Very skinny build and looks like pure single-inning.  I'd put a 40 grade on him and say he's useful org depth.

that's a nice season. BB% is a little high, but a 20 (K-BB)% is good for the season, and his August was terrific.
