The Kansas City Royals have called up relief pitcher Jose Cuas of the Omaha Storm Chasers. Cuas attended and played for the University of Maryland. He spent the 2014 season on the roster of the Gaithersburg Giants of the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League.
Prior to his time in Maryland, he was a four year letter winner at Grand Street Campus High School in Brooklyn, NY, where he helped the Wolves win the 2012 city championship. He was a 2012 all-city selection and was ranked No. 21 overall in New York. While at the University of Maryland, he played a versatile role for the Terrapins. In three seasons, he hit .243/.320/.395 with 30 doubles, four triples, 17 home runs, 112 RBIs, 15 stolen bases and 55 walks. In 2015, Cuas was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 11th round of the MLB Draft.
Cuas is described as “an interesting sidearmer and former infielder who the Royals signed out of the independent league after stints in the Diamondbacks and Brewers organizations. He throws a low-90s sinker and a slider with good deception and excellent command. The 27-year old right-hander had a 1.74 ERA with 18 strikeouts and 6 walks in 20 2⁄3 innings for Omaha.” according to Royals Review.
