Archer
Blumenschein

 6-foot-1, 198-pound projectable frame. In the box, Blumenschein had an exit velocity of 83 mph. Begins in an open stance with a smooth compact load, then uses a short stride before his swing. Bat speed was efficient, showed upward simple swing plane and level finish. Barreled up multiple balls with loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Solid while in the infield, made throws up to 79 mph; has a fluid exchange, average feet and consistent sure hands. Throws from a ¾ slot. In the 60-yard dash, recorded a time of 7.69. Projectable on the mound, where he showed good arm speed, he had a short arm action and a ¾ arm angle. Feel type pitcher who uses some effort. Tall balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with a clean finish. Threw his fastball 83-85 mph; shows some action and decent control. Shows command around the zone and tight action on his 11/5 curveball (69-71). Has tailing action and arm side control on his changeup (78-79).

Listed at 6-foot, 200-pounds, big body, plenty of room to add strength and size to his current frame. The uncommitted 2021 showed good actions both on the mound and at the dish. Potential for big power from the right side, hands work well, bat speed is there and will continue to develop as he does physically. The uncommitted 2021 was a standout on the mound during our Edmonton showcase. Quick and short arm action, ran the fastball up to 81 mph, along with a developing breaking ball with tight spin. Moves well down the mound, gets out front well, repeatable and clean mechanics. There is definitely room to add velocity, showed good mound presence and command with all pitches.
