2021 Status: designated for assignment on November 20, claimed on waivers
by gave the right-handed pitcher a second chance, and assigned him to the Kane
City Cougars in 2016. He pitched well in A and in 2017 he continued that trend.
He rose up rapidly, starting in Visalia, a couple of months in Jackson, and by
the end of the season he even pitched in Reno

He put up good numbers, even in 12 innings for the Aces.In 2018 and 2019 he
continued to pitch well in Jackson, but could not translate his success to Reno.
He walked more batters and obviously allowed more homeruns in the PCL, and as a
result was up and down between AA and AAA.End 2018, said: oel Payamps is an
intriguing arm. Everything I seen and read about him entering 2018 was that he
had a strong arm and threw in the low 90s with a slurvy breaking ball but
above-average command. The reports of the changeup were that it would flash at
times, but it wasn a pitch Payamps could rely on. Payamps creates a lot of bad
swings and leaves hitters well out front. It could be due to more advanced
sequencing, or the changeup could taken a step forward.is ETA was 2019 and he
did arrive in the big leagues in 2019, pitching 4 innings in mop-up duties, but
wasn amongst the September call ups that year.Jack Sommers mentioned in his
review last year: is command has been inconsistent, but when he has it, he
strikes out a lot of batters and can dominate. He has an intriguing arm, and
while I don think he will ever be more more than a very back end rotation
option, he still has some upside as a reliever in my view.ike Jack mentioned, as
a reliever in the MLB Payamps relied heavily on a fastball and slider, a combo
he would use in 2020 as well.2020 reviewPayamps was recalled 4 times this season
from the alternate training site. Despite the multiple call-ups, the Dominican
reliever was used in just two games.He appeared on September 1 in a game against
the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he allowed 2 runs over 2 innings. He would also
pitch a 9th inning in a loss against the Seattle Mariners.The problem Jack
mentioned in 2019 continued to harass Payamps in 2020: a lack of command

According to statcast, he threw 60.7% of his pitches out of the zone, versus a
league average of 51.1%. When he threw the ball in the strike zone, they got too
much of the plate and especially the four seamer was hit hard. His average exit
velocity allowed was over 100mph, with a barrel% of 25%. That is playing with
fire.Payamps pitches swung 2020The Arizona Diamondbacks preferred to use other
options out of the pen after September 13, so 54 pitches was all Payamps was
allowed to throw in 2020.2021 outlookPayamps was moved off the 40-man roster on
November 20, to make room for some prospects to prevent them from being taken in
the rule 5 draft. My bet is that the Diamondbacks were betting on him not
getting claimed on waivers; the team had issued limited pitching instructions
for his appearance in the Dominican winter league.However, he was claimed by the
Boston Red Sox on November 25 and will thus head to the AL East. It could be
that the Red Sox will try to put him through waivers as well, since Payamps will
have no options left in 2021 and would have to be carried on the 40-man roster
the entire season or expose him to waivers during the season
Humberto Mejia
Jersey.However it may be, unless he improves his command, it is hard to
believe that he can stick an entire season on a team 40-man roster. It is very
well possible that he might be up for team travelling the coming years via
waiver claims.
