Uvila breaks out
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Port Angeles product Cole Uvila was selected as one of 10 Breakout Pitching Prospects from the just-completed Arizona Fall League.
Uvila, a minor league member of the Texas Rangers organization, posted a 2-0 record in 10 innings of relief pitching, allowing 10 hits and seven base on balls while striking out 16 and post a 2.53 ERA.
Opponents hit .244 against him and he allowed 1.59 walks and hits per inning pitched.
The right-hander’s curve was one of the nastiest in the league, registering some of the best spin rates all fall, including one that was 3,300-plus rpm to record a strikeout in the league’ Fall Stars Game.
Uvila is expected to start the 2020 season at Double-A Frisco in the Texas League.
