Michael
Effatian

8/1/18 - Six-foot-3, 195-pounds, large frame with proportional strength throughout his frame especially in the lower half. Broad shoulders with long limbs and a high waist. Arm action is loose, with a short extension in the back before whipping a ¾ slot. Drives down the mound using his lower half and quick/free hips before landing square to target in an athletic position. Delivery is somewhat segmented before he drives down the mound. Fastball shows life and downhill tilt with some armside run as it enters the zone which he's able to throw to all quadrants of the zone. Tends to slow arm a little on his changeup the he keeps down in the hitting zone and has some late fading action. Curveball has gradual break to it with 11/5 shape. Effatian shows the ability to throw all pitches for strikes with his fastball and curveball being his best present pitches.
