BA has a list up of 20 DSL pitchers to watch. Irwin Ramirez, signed by the Bucs for $450K this year, is on it. They say he grew after signing and touches 95. They also mention Reinold Navarro, a lefty who's also seen a velocity spike where he's touching 95.

The Gold team has this year's second-highest bonus guy, Abdiel Feliz, a glove-first SS. The other new guy is 1B Edward Florentino, a power-over-hit guy who's real big. The rest of the lineup is repeaters. The interesting ones maybe are C Angel Perez, who had a 1.030 OPS last year but got sent back anyway, and CF Cristian Jauregui, a Cuban signee who had a decent debut. SP Adolfo Oviedo pitched OK in 2022 and well last year, but he's back for a third year.

Mola, mentioned in the OP, and C Jonathan Rivero, last year's top-dollar signee, are both on IL-7.

If you want to get a start on the DSL guys, the opening day lineup for the Black team is up. 16yo Angel Herrera is the SP. Two of this year's top signees, Kendrick Herrera and Bralyn Brazoban, are batting 1st and 2nd. Two other top signees, Iverson Allen and Frankeli Mesta, are in there. The catcher is Javier Acevedo, whom BA had as a sleeper.

Love Iverson Allen. Not just the name. He is the sleeper there IMO.

'Iverson Allen' has to be the hands on favorite for Most Clever Names Hall of Fame, lol.
