Liván Moinelo

Liván Moinelo is one of those quietly elite lefties who makes you do a double-take the first time you see him work. Born in Pinar del Río — Cuba's baseball heartland — he pitched for Cuba at the 2017 World Baseball Classic and then signed with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, where he's been an absolute weapon out of the bullpen. That sweeping slider of his is legitimately unfair against left-handed hitters, and his composure in high-leverage spots is the kind of thing you don't really teach. He doesn't have the name recognition of some NPB foreign stars, but anyone who watches Hawks baseball knows he's a guy you absolutely do not want to face in the late innings. A classic case of the right pitcher finding the right league at the right time.
