Coming in at No.5, uncommitted, 6-0, 170 pounds. Bats and throws right. Yard as a freshman was the No. 1 option on the mound for the Niwot Cougars. Yard threw 35 innings and struck out 35 batters. On the mound has a big frame, still growing. Simple motion towards plate, short on back side then comes from high 3/4 arm angle. Fastball touches 87 mph but will live 84-85. Curve is thrown at 67-68 mph with 12/6 shape. Projects to throw in the lower 90's sooner then later.
