Cards may bring up LHP Mosqueda ?

[ramfandan]

This is probably a name that most Cardinals fans aren't familiar with...Oddanier Mosqueda

The Cardinals selected Mosqueda in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft last winter. Mosqueda, 26, was a member of the New York Yankees Triple-A roster, but he was swiped by the Cardinals back in December.

Mosqueda pitched only three innings in spring training before being sent to minor league camp. He struck out three batters, allowed five hits, and gave up one earned run in his brief stint at Jupiter.

The southpaw has spent the entire 2025 season with Triple-A Memphis this year. He has a 3.92 ERA through 57.1 innings pitched. He's finished nine games and earned two saves so far this year. Mosqueda has done well striking out batters, as he has K'd 59 of them for a 9.3 K/9 ratio. His walks are a bit high for my liking (he has a 3.6 BB/9 ratio), but he's done well at limiting hits and long balls this year.

Mosqueda is a funky left-handed pitcher who uses a wide release point to throw off same-handed hitters. Lefties are slashing just .153/.263/.245 against him this year. His fastball sits in the low-90s, but he employs a five-pitch mix that includes a sinker, sweeper, slider, and changeup. His slider and changeup both generate whiffs at rates beyond 40%, and hitters chase his sinker the most. He won't overpower hitters with raw stuff, but he'll be able to exploit their weaknesses via his unique delivery and his vast array of pitches.

Just don't bring any cans of Off to the ballpark.

[HorseTrader]

With that many pitches I wonder how he'd do as a starter

if he was on the NYY AAA roster and we got him in the rule 5 draft, wouldn't he have to have been on our ML roster all year?

They are in dire need of another LH reliever right now, so it makes sense to give him a shot.

Minor League phase of rule 5 draft

[CorneliusWolfe]

Are you saying it might repel his abilities?

[ramfandan]

That's been his issue .. OFF and on Sometimes his curveball has a lot of 'bite' to it .. other times not so much
Summer months seem to be his best !

[craviduce]

he's great against LHB

but....just like last night, he can really struggle vs. RHB

[imyourhuckleberry]

Unfortunately, they're cancelling citronella candle night at the ballpark.

Theres a minor league portion of the rule 5 draft but im not sure how the rules of it work

Edit. Looked it up.

Evidently article is either mistake and he was in AA or yankees sent him back to AA

In the minor league portion, players in AA not on a 38 man roster listed for AAA maybe purchased to play for the AAA affiliate of another team for $24,500

Essentially we bought him from the yankees for cash.
