The Book on Adis Portillo
Prospect Info
Adis Portillo
Born 12/20/1991
RHP, SD
Portillo is a hard-throwing right-hander who shows more polish than most Venezuelan prospects. Portillo exhibits a dominating mound presence and great composure, featuring a moving fastball that tops out at about 94mph. It's the raw stuff he wields with three possible plus pitches, though, that puts him into the upper ranks of pitching prodigies.

Player Updates and Notes
San Diego, flexing their new Latin American muscle, opened their wallet to make Adis Portillo a Padre today. The acquisition by such a pitching-smart club is all good for the 16 year old free agent, who was also chased hard by the less arm-friendly Phillies.
