Scouting Report: (8/2/15, KY College Prospect Showcase) 6-foot-2, 180-pound RHP with good pitcher’s frame, uses shorter and quick arm action through a high-3/4 slot, fastball sat 81-82 mph touching 84 on one occasion, two-seam fastball shows arm-side run, throws a solid 12/6 curveball with good depth at 67-71 mph, good arm action on 72-75 mph changeup that has good sink and fade, throws a 78-80 mph cutter that tends to back up, solid overall command of three pitches with good upside. As a position player, right handed hitter hits from a balanced stance with a short stride maintains good balance through contact, line drive type hitter took a good round of BP showing the ability to make hard contact to all fields, 81 mph exit velocity off the tee, ran a 7.19 60-yard dash. Moves fluidly in the outfield, plays though the ball with athletic actions, long over the top release, accurate throws with carry, 81 mph arm strength.
Further Analysis: Durbin is an interesting two-way player with good size and solid athleticism. He likely has more upside on the mound where a jump in velocity is certainly possible, but he also showed solid ability to swing the bat and play the outfield as well.
