The Rays announced that they have acquired right-hander Matthew Hoskins<\/a> from the Royals as the player to be named later in the Kameron Misner<\/a> trade. Tampa flipped Misner to Kansas City for cash or a PTBNL in November<\/a>. Hoskins wasn\u2019t on the Royals\u2019 40-man roster, so no corresponding move is required.<\/p>\n

Hoskins, 22, was just selected in the 12th round of the 2025 draft. The Royals didn\u2019t have him pitch in affiliated ball after signing him, so he still hasn\u2019t made his professional debut. He had spent the previous three years pitching for the University of Georgia. He gave the Bulldogs 50 2\/3 innings with a 6.22 earned run average. His 27.6% strikeout rate was strong but he walked 40 of the 243 batters he faced, a 16.5% clip. He also hit 16 batters and threw six wild pitches.<\/p>\n

Baseball America<\/a> ranked Hoskins the #496 player available in the draft. Given his college numbers, they unsurprisingly noted that he will require some polish and is likely to be a reliever in the long term. But they highlighted that his fastball sits in the upper 90s and can touch triple digits. His slider is his best secondary pitch and he also throws a changeup. The Rays are seemingly betting on the raw stuff and will take on Hoskins as a long-term project.<\/p>\n
