Junior Gonzalez was the anchor of the rotation to begin the season.  Alvaro Seijas put in four starts before he was promoted stateside, but led the way in strike out.  Diego Cordero struggled in the first month, giving up the most runs and second most walks but his strikes outs stayed on par with innings tossed.  Winston Nicacio and Noel DeJesus had great starts to their season in the piggy back rotation.  Edwar Ramirez couldn’t get things going and was thumped but still struck out almost as many batters as innings pitched.

Angel Rondon bloomed in the second month and struck out more than any other pitcher in the rotation, in July.  DeJesus continued his strong starting numbers from June into July.  Johan Oviedo, signed in July, made a handful of openings and showed some promise.  Gonzalez couldn’t continue his opening performance and was tagged hard in the second month.  Nicacio dealt with control issues and walked almost as many innings logged.  Ramirez stayed consistant and the struggles flowed through midseason.

Ramirez turned things around in the final month and was dominate on the hill, striking out the most in the starting rotation.  DeJesus  and Oviedo continued their performances from the previous month and were right behind Ramirez in strike out.  Cordero reappeared after injuries derailed his midseason and kept the runners from scoring.  Gonzalez improved some while Nicacio and Rondon struggled to get back on track.

Looking at the overall numbers by the starters, DeJesus is by far the best arm in the rotation and showed conistency throughout the 2016 season.  Gonzalez and Nicacio were good in the beginning and the year wore down on him.  Ramirez started off poor and rounded out the season on a strong month.  Cordero and Rondon were pretty steady all season long.  Oviedo was limited in his innings pitched in each outing.  My clear choice for 2016 Dominican Summer League Cardinals Starting Pitcher of the Year is Noel DeJesus.
