Valiente has looked great on the mound at such a young age as he was part of the U-23 Cuban World Cup team and has an outstanding fastball that sits between 9-96 MPH.
The young Valiente also has a solid sinker and slider as well which means he already has three reliable pitches at a very young age.
This is Alexander Valiente from Cuba. RHP that sits 95-96. Has feel for Slider, Sinker as well.
