Farr

The 6-foot, 205-pound right-hander pitches from a high three-quarter slot with good downplane to the plate. His fastball is up to 96 mph, while pitching at 94-95. He maintains that velo throughout his starts. He gets a lot of swing and miss on his 83-85 mph curveball. It’s a plus pitch with hard break and good depth that the super-competitive Farr can land consistently for strikes. He also flashed a low-80s sinking changeup that has the potential to be at least an average pitch in the future.
