Per Ben Badler

“Cardinals sign RHP Ronald Medrano, one of Nicaragua’s top July 2 prospects

Scouting report on Medrano by BA

“The Cardinals have signed 16-year-old righthander Ronald Medrano, one of the top Nicaraguan prospects for July 2.

Medrano is 6 feet, 170 pounds and pitches to both sides of the plate with a fastball that sits around the high-80s and has touched 90-91. He has shown good pitchability for his age and feel for his secondary stuff, including a curveball with good spin that could become an above-average offering, as well as a changeup. Medrano trained at the Nicaragua Baseball Academy run by former major league righthander Dennis Martinez and Gary Wendt.”

Seems like they signed him to replace Andres Serrano.

Two very intriguing southpaws with solid stuff on the mound tonight in Lyons, and Siegrist will be interested to see how he fares out in his 2nd start in Double A Texas League.
