Focus Area | Comments |
Fastball: | Maronde was throwing his fastball up to 92 mph. |
Fastball movement: | It had arm-side life. |
Slider: | He has a short one, not big and sweeping, that acts almost like a cutter at times, running in on right-handed hitters. |
Changeup: | It's just OK right now, a work in progress. |
Control: | It was good in this start, but has been inconsistent in the past. |
Poise: | He dealt well with sloppy conditions and the inability to warm up in the bullpen. |
Physical Description: | Maronde is a tall, lanky left-hander with a projectable frame who should fill out well as he matures. |
Medical Update: | Healthy. |
Strengths: | The possibility of a three-pitch mix, highlighted by an above-average fastball. |
Weaknesses: | He has had trouble repeating his delivery and release point. When that happens, his command suffers. |
Summary: | It's not often that you can tell someone to head to Kentucky to see top-notch Draft prospects, but that's the case in 2008. Maronde may be the cream of that crop, a projectable lefty with an above-average fastball and the possibility of two other pitches to go with it. Some issues with mechanics have led to command problems, but that certainly won't keep a team from taking him fairly early in the Draft. |
