10/17/18 - Goldstein had been known as one of the better uncommitted arms in his class until he pledged to the University of Oregon a couple nights ago. The Ducks are getting a good one in the highly projectable righty who, when his collegiate career, should have a chance to continue pitching barring a serious injury. At 6-foot-3, 170-pounds, Goldstein has a ton of physical projection which bodes well for his loose, clean arm actions. There's a tick of effort in his delivery, especially when he rears back and really comes after a hitters, as he did a few times last night touching 88 mph while living in the 86-87 mph range comfortably. His fastball showed the life at the plate we've become accustomed to seeing. It was a nice bounceback from a shaky outing last week. His two-plane slider has plus pitch potential and his curveball can be unhittable at times.
8/1/18 - Six-foot-3, 170-pounds, long, lean frame with high waist, long limbs. Body really projects for added strength, especially through the lower half. Goldstein is a drop/drive pitcher that pounds the zone with a three-pitch mix of fastball, curveball, slider. Arm is quick, loose while his delivery is very repeatable. There's deception to his delivery while his pitches all work downhill. Fastball shows gloveside run as he is a bit cross body. Curveball is a present above average pitch with its late, sharp biting action on a two-plane path. Changeup shows slight armside run in on righties. Maintains arm slot and speed on all pitches. Shows command of all three pitches which he threw for strikes while keeping all down in the hitting zone.
