2/28/18 - UNLV signee. The ultra-projectable righty has made another jump, sitting 86-89, touching 90 with his fastball with a relatively low effort delivery. Balko held his velo for 6 shutout innings and completely dominated a solid Liberty lineup. His breaking ball had more curveball shape and velo that we've seen in the past at 75-76 with tight rotation and depth. Currently ranked as the #18 AZ prospect in his class, Balko set himself up to make yet another jump.

9/27/17 - 6’3, physically very immature, lots of room to get stronger and add velo. Worked 83-87 with his fastball and generally commanded it in the zone. Slider was best pitch and showed good tilt and depth at 77 mph.
