The hard-throwing Cuban right-hander with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons was named to his second straight Prospects Game this week.
He’ll be joined in Seattle by Sem Robberse, a right-hander with the Jays’ Double-A team in New Hampshire. The minor-league showcase is July 8, part of the all-star festivities at T-Mobile Park.
After opening the season as a starter and walking 13 in 15 innings through May 10, the 25-year-old shifted to the bullpen, where 17 of his last 18 appearances have come. Zulueta, the No. 3 prospect in the Jays’ system, could follow the path of former top prospect“The ball explodes out of hand,” Sclafani said, “ sure things like stride length and release points come at the same time. He shows flashes of it and it’s tantalizing.
Still, there are times when Zulueta slides back, like Friday against Worcester when he walked two batters and gave up three runs in 1 2/3 innings. His earned run average, which he had lowered to 4.34 by not allowing a run in five of six appearances, shot up to 4.85. And the walks — five in his last four innings — haven’t gone away.
