COMMENT: Body similar to former Major Leaguer Tommy Greene. As part-time catcher, he also throws with quick arm action. Fairly clean delivery. Naturally strong. Some sneaky armside run to fastball. Ability to reach back for it. Hard, tight, downward-breaking curve. Some feel for change. |

COMMENT: Same body type as Richie Lewis. Life in body. Very quick arm, easy delivery. Fastball has some hop, arm-side life. Compact, fairly clean delivery for sneaky fastball life. Hard, slurvy slider with some downward tilt, some tight rotation. Hard worker with good arm being brought along as closer. |

COMMENT: Well-built- raw-boned frame. Good command on hard slider, his go-to pitch. Two-seam fastball sinks and runs in on righties. Occasionally throws down-breaking curve when ahead. Has decent three-finger changeup. Not easy to pick up with lots of arms and legs. Aggressive approach. Hard worker. |
