He's not quite ready for the big leagues, but the kid from the Yankees, Reiver Sanmartin fits the bill as a lefty bullpen pitcher. https://pinstripedprospects.com/prospect-profile-reiver-sanmartin-lhp-38464/
"Sanmartin is a soft-tossing left-handed pitcher that will likely move into the bullpen full-time as he moves up the ladder in the minors. His fastball is 89-92 miles per hour, and he backs it up with a slider and a changeup.He is a control pitcher that attacks the strike zone."
He had a so-so season last year in Charleston, but hasn't done so poorly elsewhere. Last season was his first in the high AA level with a 4.19 era..
"The bulk of his playing time came in Class-A with the Charleston RiverDogs where he started eight games and earned a 2-6 record. He struck out 31 batters in 43 innings and had a 4.19 ERA. He ended his season in High-A with the Tampa Tarpons where he struck out 10 in 12 innings allowing just one unearned run."
Nothing spectacular yet, but with the right coaching he might become pretty good on down the road..
