His slider (102) and changeup (107) are his best offerings, with his slider (102) being his third-best on a TJ Stuff+ end. His four-seamer doesn\u2019t rate well on a TJ Stuff+ end (96), but it has above-average velocity at 97.2 MPH. Furthermore, not only does he have above-average velocity on three of his four offerings, but he also varies his pitches, with three of his offerings (four-seamer, slider, and sinker) being thrown 25% or more (his changeup, while utilized the least, still is thrown 13.9% of the time).<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a strong base for the Royals Pitching Development team to work with. With a four-pitch mix, three decent pitches, he could transition to the rotation and focus more on sharpening the quality and usage over more innings of work. Furthermore, he could add a pitch or two, which would not only diversify his repertoire but also perhaps enhance his other offerings, especially his whiff rate, which is below average at 21.5%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
