Indians prospect Giovanni Soto was hammered by the Reds in his spring debut on Friday, allowing five runs on three hits and a pair of walks in only 2/3 of an inning. The 21-year-old lefty was acquired by the Tribe in July of 2010 when Jhonny Peralta was dealt to the Tigers. He posted a 3.93 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 22 starts at Double-A Akron in 2012, while fanning 100 in 121 1/3 innings. He has an electric arm, but is still very raw and has to improve his command before he's a candidate to join the big league roster.
