Overall: The most expensive international signing from the Nats' 2019-20 J2 period, Lara is an 18 year old Venezuelan righty with a sturdy, 6-foot-4 frame. He's well built with a strong lower half and clear room for growth in the upper body. It's a traditional delivery with low effort and above-average arm speed. At signing the fastball sat 92-94, showing good zip especially in the upper half of the zone and it jumps out of his hand. Should expect to add two more ticks with proper conditioning and added mass. 11-5 curveball flashes above-average with late bite. More information is needed about his complete arsenal and what the command/control looks like over an extended period of time. Put him on your watch list for now and check back at the end of the year.
