Fantasy Impact:
Patino is a 20-year-old pitching phenom who posted a 2.57 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A last year. In 94 2/3 innings he struck out 123 while walking 38. Patino is expected to work out of the bullpen early on, which limits his fantasy appeal. If he eventually gets a chance to start then he'll be worth adding in most mixed leagues.
