Collins is a tall, rangy 2021 right-handed pitcher at 6-foot-3, 175-pounds. Collins has a longer arm stroke and creates good leverage in this delivery. His fastball is up to 80 mph now, but has a chance to throw harder with strength because of his intent and the way he works down the mound. Collins fastball shows some natural hand side life his fastball and is effective when down in the zone. His breaking ball (67-69) is still inconsistent as he will run away from his arm at times and loses the ability to finish the pitch with consistent shape. As Collins gains mound time look for his change-up to emerge, due to his hand-speed and ability to commit to the pitch. Collins has upside in his frame and leverage and delivery should allow strength gains to pay dividends to his velocity. Will be a close follow going forward.
