Comments |
| Fastball: | Storen's fastball was in the 90-94 mph range. |
| Fastball movement: | He has good movement out of the strike zone. |
| Curve: | It's a hard breaking ball, thrown 79-83 mph, with a snap-down break. It's more a longer curve than a slider. |
| Changeup: | Has a changeup, but doesn't really use it in a relief role. |
| Control: | His command is average at best and is the main reason he's a reliever and not a starter. |
| Poise: | He goes right at hitters and has the right mentality for short relief. |
| Physical Description: | Storen has a solid build with wide shoulders. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | He has three pitches, with his fastball-curve combination working well in the bullpen. |
| Weaknesses: | His command hasn't always been a strong point. |
| Summary: | Storen has the stuff to be a starter and it's not unheard of for a team to take a college closer and let him start as a pro. That being said, there's a reason Stanford has him in the bullpen ... his command hasn't always been sharp. Even as a short reliever, though, his fastball-curve mix is more than enough to get hitters out, especially from the right side. Good college closers usually get drafted well and Storen should be no exception. |
