An 18-year-old right-handed pitcher from the Dominican Republic, Nunez has already reportedly touched 100 mph with his fastball and typically sits in the mid-to-upper 90s. At 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, he already has the frame to pitch in the majors. His best offspeed pitch is an inconsistent curveball. He has not thrown his changeup much yet.
