The righty was not on Tampa\u2019s 40-man roster and won\u2019t need to take up a spot on Atlanta\u2019s roster for now.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles, 26, was an eighth-round pick of the Rays in 2019. Since then, he has pitched both out of the rotation and the bullpen in the minor leagues. Overall, he has thrown 325 1\/3 innings across multiple levels, allowing 4.98 earned runs per nine. His 20.5% strikeout rate is on the low side but he\u2019s shown strong control with a 5% walk rate.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s never been a top prospect but he got an honorable mention on the FanGraphs list of Rays prospects from Eric Longenhagen and Travis Ice\u00a0in July. \u201cWiles commands his 90-94 mph fastball well and his 84-88 mph cutter stays off barrels with its late bite,\u201d the FanGraphs reports says. \u201cHe throws his changeup to both left- and right-handed hitters and his best ones show significant depth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His numbers in the Grapefruit League look quite nice, with obvious small sample caveats. In 6 1\/3 innings, he has 11 strikeouts compared to just two walks. 10 hits have led to five earned runs and a 7.11 ERA, but his .556 batting average on balls in play and 58.3% strand rate are both heavily to the unlucky side.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Atlanta has seen something they liked from Wiles this spring and sent some cash to the Rays in order to bring him aboard. He\u2019ll provide the club with some non-roster depth for its pitching staff.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy Nathan Ray Seebeck, Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (11)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rays sent Nathan Wiles to Atlanta for cash.
