Andrew
Armstrong

Florida State commit. 6-foot-2, 150-pound left-handed pitcher, lean, wiry strength, athletically proportionally built. Low ¾ slot. FB:85-89, mostly 88, scattered command. CB:75-76 with SL character, showed good command of CB. He uses a quick FB with sinking life combined with a more slider character, sweepy CB to keep hitter uncomfortable. He shows a quick high leg kick with a  stiff front leg delivery and a long low 3/4 arm angle combined with a two pitch mix he is very effective, FB is a little scattered but can throw strikes when he needs too, better feel for the CB is his bread and butter. Should be tough on left hand hitters, great guy to have in any staff…

Florida State commit. 6-foot-2, 150-pound left-handed pitcher, lean, lanky frame, athletically built.  FB sat 85-89, stiff front leg and arm recoil led to scattering the FB.  CB came in at 75-76 with SL character. Armstrong worked 1inn of shutout, 0 hit baseball for Flowery Branch, using a quick FB with sinking life combined with a more slider character, sweepy CB to make quick work of the final inning of the game against Lanier HS. He shows a quick high leg kick with a long low 3/4 angle slot to keep hitters uncomfortable in the box. His two pitch mix is effective, FB is scattered mostly but can throw strikes, better feel for the CB. Should be tough on left hand hitters future bullpen 

Armstrong is a talented 2020 left-hander from Flowery Branch who offers little projection in terms of future role, but what he has right now plays just fine. Armstrong can work underneath the baseball at times, but when it’s all in sync, he is hard to handle. The deception in his delivery help to play up two very effective secondary pitches. What Armstrong lacks in ceiling he more than makes up for in terms of his floor.
