6-foot-4, 210-pound left-handed hitting 2-way player. On mound; crouches into medium balance point, swings front leg down mound and lands closed, compact arm action and comes out clean in front. Fastball has slight downhill plane at 75-78 mph with late diving action to arm-side. Soft spin and avg. shape on curveball with avg. break. Solid sinking action on changeup with good feel for bottom of zone. 7.44 runner. Large target at first, sure hands, solid fielder at position, has adequate range, solid receiver around the bag, 75 mph arm strength across infield.
7/30/18- 6-foot-3, 205-pound left-handed pitcher. Larger frame on mound. Crouches into balance point, long arm action, delivers from OT slot, occasionally drives ball downhill. Fastball was 77-80 mph with consistent command and late arm-side running action. Tight rotation with 2/8 shape on breaking ball for strikes. Tends to open early and slows arm on changeup. Butler is a follow in the 2020 class and could make jumps with continued development and instruction.
