Luarbert Arias DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins right-handed pitching prospect Luarbert Arias was optioned to Triple-A. Arias was competing for a spot in the Miami bullpen. Last season, the 24-year-old made his Trie-A debut and performed quite well. He held a 3.04 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP across 68 innings. He tallied 75 punchouts and served up 27 free passes. Earlier in the summer, Arias logged 21 1/3 innings at the Double-A level and posted a strong 1.69 ERA with a stellar 0.70 WHIP. There, he held a 3:29 BB:K ratio and allowed just two home runs. Given his fast progression through the minor leagues, Arias may only need another brief look at Triple-A before being promoted to the majors. Once he does earn the promotion, he could eventually compete for a high-leverage role as he has seen save opportunities with Triple-A.
