Ure didn’t flash the big velo that most of the other arms at the event threw up, but he did show some big upside. The 6-foot-7, 230-pound southpaw comfortably worked 88-89, touching 90 mph, with some sink and arm side life on a fastball that averaged 2366 RPM with a max of 2472 RPM.

He worked crisp and polished throughout the bullpen’s sequence with even pacing and a low heart rate, and looked the part of a future starter with a three-pitch mix. The changeup was his best secondary offering, profiling best off the fastball at 80-82 (1729 RPM avg.) with later sinking action for strikes. His slider flashed as an adequate third offering at 79-81 with shorter break for strikes, and as it was an early preseason bullpen for the Colorado-native, there is a chance it ticks up a bit this spring.

Ure’s arm works freely through a controlled stroke before showing quickness out front as he releases from a higher 6.54 ft. average release height which allows him to drive a steep downhill plane through the zone giving the fastball some heaviness. Overall, Ure’s low-effort and poised bullpen provided a glimpse at a future left-handed starter, and given his relatively low innings use, there is considerable upside to get excited about as he gains more experience.
