Yehl thrives on deception. He gets on top of the ball even with a three-quarters slot, and with his back foot in the middle of the rubber, he strides at nearly a 45 degree angle toward the first base dugout. He lands clean and straight on, and is able to command the ball effectively even with the huge crossfire. Hitters, lefties in particular, looked uncomfortable. His fastball generates above-average to plus carry even with a relatively low slot, and he missed a ton of bats upstairs last year. His slider is mostly horizontal, and he has pretty good feel for spinning it. Yehl can find the back foot and back door against righties, and he likes to run it off the barrels of a lefty. He\u2019ll flash an average curve as well. A changeup isn\u2019t currently part of his equation but will likely need to be if he\u2019s going to start.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how well this will work against hitters more accustomed to outlier release points, but college bats can be rough on smoke and mirrors types, and they barely touched Yehl this year; he may just have the juice, deception wise. He isn\u2019t particularly physically projectable, but developing a change is a potential path forward, and he looks like an intriguing early-round flier. You can dream on a backend starter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
