Chris
Rogers

Standing at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, Rogers is lean and athletically built with room to add on more strength in the coming years. On the mound, he moves athletically throughout his delivery; working with a smooth tempo into a high athletic leg-lift, coiling slightly into his balance point before pushing off the mound with a drop/drive lower-half, remaining in-line to the plate throughout his stride. His arm works long out of the glove and plays quick to release from a high ¾ slot. His fastball showed above-average carry through the zone with a max IVB of 20, sitting comfortably in the 85-87 mph range throughout his ‘pen with his top being 87.5 mph (T2325 RPM). To pair off his fastball he went to a tight 1/7 breaking ball at 69-71 mph and a late fading changeup at 70-73 mph. Offensively, Rogers showed an intriguing right-handed bat with well above-average bat speed and bat strength as well. Rogers swings with controlled aggression and when the swing syncs up the ball jumps off the barrel with authority. Rogers had the furthest ball off the bat 366’ to go along with a max exit velocity of 96.4 mph.
