Pitch #1: Fastball, high 80’s to low 90’s velocity. Consistently tries to pitch under the hands of left-handed pitchers, does miss out over the plate a bit too often which can lead to homeruns. Throws it almost exclusively, especially in short outings. Struggles to throw it to the right side of the plate.
Pitch #2: Slider, low 80’s velocity, uses it as his strikeout pitch. Has sweeping up then down movement. A solid pitch that he controls well and isn’t afraid to double up on when he wants a strikeout. Uses it more in longer outings.
Pitch #3: Changeup, low 80’s velocity. Straight changeup, little movement on it. Doesn’t throw it very often, usually just a mix in pitch to keep hitters from sitting on his fastball.
Delivery: Stands on first base side of the rubber, pitchers from the stretch, with a belt high leg lift. Very short quick and compact delivery with a high three quarters arm slot. A slight hesitation at the top of his delivery and then pushes hard towards the plate. Slightly difficult to repeat delivery.
Control: Controls the fastball well, but has a difficult time getting it inside to right-handed hitters, as he consistently leaves it out over the plate against them. Very aggressive pitcher that throws a lot of strikes and isn’t going to walk many batters. Really struggles to pitch to the right-handed batters box side of the plate.
Poise: Real quick to the plate with runners on, uses a slide step. Very difficult to run on. Not easily rattled, gets the ball and goes right back to work after giving up a hit or walk.
Physical Description: Large upper body with smaller lower half. Almost a V shaped back. Real long thin legs, with a short upper body.
Projection: Strictly a lefty specialist, rarely pitches against right-handed batters, and when he does has little success. A consistent reliever that can come in and throw strikes to lefties and get them out.
