Nathan Snyder: RHP/RHP, (2023) out of Berlin, CT. is a 6-foot-4, 165-pound right handed pitching prospect. On the mound, the delivery is simple. He uses simple movements to get to a good balance position at the top before heading down the mound in line with home plate. The arm works out of a long, high ¾ arm slot, producing a fastball 79-83 MPH (Max spin ; Avg ) with late arm side run. Snyder also showed a nice 12/6 curveball (67-68 MPH) (Max spin ; Avg ), a fading changeup (72-73 MPH) and a tight slider (69-70 MPH).
