Cuban IFA signed by Houston in September of 2014. Armenteros is a physical righty with command of his body and good rhythm on the mound. He generates outsized plane from a high arm slot, with a hard drive creating extension and a difficult pick-up for hitters. He'll struggle to harness the ample momentum he generates through the drive and keep on time to slot, leading to some bouts with his command. There's some durability required to repeat the motion, which Armenteros has shown, though his velocity has fluctuated between starts. He'll deploy three potentially above-average pitches that play well off one another, and he shows advanced pitchability and confidence in all three. It's a starter's profile, and a potentially solid one if the command progresses.
