<p>Now might be a good time to hop on the Yosver Zulueta hype train.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old hurler made his triple-A debut with the Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday and didn&#8217;t look phased against the Rochester Red Wings &#8211; Washington&#8217;s triple-A affiliate. The Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect fared extremely well in his first action at the highest level of the minors, keeping his opponent off the scoreboard.</p>
<p>Zulueta tossed a scoreless fifth inning, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out a batter. He threw 16 pitches, with 11 of them registering as strikes.</p>

<p>From there, the 6-foot-1 hurler was promoted to double-A New Hampshire, where he made two starts and seven relief appearances. In total, the youngster posted a 4.11 ERA and 25 punchouts across 15.1 innings.</p>
<p>The Cuban native can reach triple digits with his fastball and also features a devasting slider, curveball and changeup. He missed all of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Tommy John surgery. In 2021, a torn ACL ended his season prematurely after making just one start.</p>
<p>Zulueta will be Rule 5 eligible this off-season, meaning the Blue Jays would need to place him on their 40-man roster to prevent another franchise from selecting him in the draft.</p>
