9/28/19 vs Trosky Fall Ball

Lopiccolo started the game for College of San Mateo and set the tone for the pitchers dominating in his one inning using only the fastball on his way to a quick inning with two strikeouts and an easy ground ball. Long and lean with some space to still add strength, Lopiccolo has a high waist and showed athleticism on the mound. Stays tall over the rubber with his hands working down and back up on a very high, tucked front knee allowing him to flow down the rubber finishing with a firm front leg; the athleticism in the delivery is present following the equal-and-opposite principal with his clean hand break. The arm is compact with a 3/4 release showing the ability to repeat the swing and release point. FB 88-89 moving the pitch to both sides of the plate looking to jam hitters and flashing cut when going glove side; life in the zone having good hitters late on the pitch. Not seeing the change or breaking ball limits my ability to talk about the overall profile, but when you work with the FB the way Lopiccolo did it’s hard not to take notice.
