Andres Munoz could easily be the most electric arm in the entire system. Featuring a two pitch mix, Munoz is a high leverage reliever unlike his counterpart in Matt Brash. That being said, Munoz is a prototypical closer. With a fastball that averaged 100 MPH and a slider with excellent depth in the mid-80’s, Munoz is a prime candidate to be featured in the the 2022 bullpen and could very well be called up in the coming days.

Acquired in the seven player deal that shipped Austin Nola off to San Diego, Munoz has been working his way back from Tommy John surgery since coming to Seattle. Finally healthy, Seattle could use the fireballing reliever to aid in their pursuit of the final playoff spot.
