- My system hit upon Suarez during his last season (2014) in the Venezuelan Summer League when he became a UTR Organizational All-Star. The following season, Suarez only saw 27.2 innings in the Gulf Coast League, but he remained someone to watch. The 6′ 1″- 180 lb. southpaw experienced a slight breakout last season and flirted with a no-hitter last night that should garner him more attention.
