Pacheco is much younger, at 23 years old, but his tale is very similar. He started at A+ and dominated with a K rate of 43.5 percent.

He was promoted to Springfield, where his K rate increased to 44.6 percent.

He dominated there before heading to Memphis for a brief stint, where he too missed bats at an incredible rate.

At both stops in the high minors, his walk rate dropped. In Springfield, he posted a 1.83/2.00 ERA/FIP.

Every MLB team is looking for low-cost MLB pitching. Both were properly added by the Cardinals, and because they are on the 40-man roster, they will be eligible for MLB action next season.
