Scouting report
Santillan's strike-throwing regressed to his career norms in 2019 and his velocity is now squarely in the low-90s. He was also put on the Injured List twice with shoulder and triceps injuries and had a hamstring issue in 2020. The last two seasons he's come into camp with less velo than he ends up having later in the year. I think a bigger-bodied guy like Santillan, especially one who has had so many health hiccups, probably ends up in the bullpen as a fastball/slider reliever, though recall Santillan was once sitting 97-99. He retains a 40+ designation in acknowledgment of that upside but he isn't trending that way. (Alternate site)
