Scouting Report

10/2/16 -Max FB: 86, FB: 82-85, CB: 67-68, SPLT: 71-72
6-foot-1, 220-pound, RHP carries a smooth and confident approach to the mound with athleticism and a solid tempo, takes his hands back over his head during his rocker step, gets loaded well at the top of his leg lift and initiates some good shoulder tilt, gets down the mound with his stride that lands very slightly open, long arm action comes through a high ¾ slot with low effort.  Fastball showed good run with consistent command, curveball had 11/5 shape and was kept down in the zone for strikes, used a splitfinger as his changeup with solid depth.  Recorded a strikeout without allowing a hit in his 2 innings of work. Craddock has made impressive strides in the last 12 months.

It should be noted that Craddock has obviously worked extremely hard over the last year. He has significantly slimmed down and has picked up 8-10 mph on his fastball since we first saw him in October 2015.
