The young Cuban is a pitcher and recently reached 92 MPH, making him a top prospect while still in high school. De Malas also noted that he will soon have to decide whether to play at the college level.

As if that weren’t enough, Perfect Game USA has ranked Joseph Conteras as a “Premium” prospect at the national level. It’s worth noting that the young man of Cuban descent is backed by his father’s extraordinary career, as his father pitched in the major leagues for the New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Philadelphia Phillies, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
