6-foot-1 188-pounds. Stocky frame, came in and showed a few strong innings in relief. Showed confidence, and toughness pitching with his team down by 5. FB was 80-82. Over the top arm action, worked down the mound, and used his lower half well. Could really spin the CB at 66-67. Used it in any count, and buried it when he needed to.

Bryce is a lanky young 6-foot right-hander who looks as though he has more size coming and is still growing into his body. He has long arms and offers projectable features on the mound. He is an under control type of pitcher at this point and is noticeably aware of his mechanics. He will flash angle to his fastball out of his high-3/4 arm slot and when his timing is right his arm worked free and easy. As he adds needed strength Hale will need to be more aggressive with his lower half, coming down the mound. Right now he does not use his lower half as much as he needs too. His fastball flashed good angle and topped out at 74 MPH, while sitting in the 71-73 range. I would like to see Hale show more intent/aggression on the mound and get to his stuff. As he adds strength and becomes more confident in his delivery, I look for Hale to be more aggressive with his actions toward the plate. Hale did not show a breaking ball in the game and will need to add to his arsenal in the future, but overall frame and ingredients look good and has a chance to progress on the mound using his long arms and natural leverage.
