COMMENT: Goes by Zach. Sloping shoulders. Compact delivery. Strong, clean arm action, works well out front. Throws easy. Good arm action and delivery. Fastball with tailing action, but there's more there. Tight slider with tilt and depth. Feel for change with sink. Player has come long way from thrower to pitcher. Excellent makeup |
