Féliz struggled in 2014 as his batting line was .190/.224/.304 in Tampa, and he went 6-for-16 in the GCL.

The Santo Domingo native left the Yankees system after the 2014 season, and he had a .275/.344/.415 batting line for the Lancaster Barnstormers in 2015. He then represented the Dominican Republic in the 2015 Premier 12. Féliz was 1-for-5 with a double against the USA, and he went 0-for-4 against South Korea. He played well against Venezuela as he collected 3 hits and a walk, then he went 3-for-5 against Mexico. Féliz's slash line in the entire event was .389/.421/.556 with 3 doubles and 2 RBI.

The Pittsburgh Pirates then signed him, and Féliz hit .275/.344/.415 for the Altoona Curve in 2016. The utility man played every position except catcher and pitcher.
