Jimmy
Fairley

Fairley is an athletic-framed right-hander with deception throughout his delivery, tossing 4.2 innings of quality baseball on Saturday. He hides the ball from hitters and runs his heater to both sides of the plate, while keeping hitters honest with a tight, sweeping slider. His fastball sat 80-82 mph, topping 83 mph with heavy feel for the zone, looked harder than it was, and his slider had 10/4 shape thrown at fastball arm speed. He also had a change that played at 72-74 mph. Delivery is easy and works in-line to home, slight spin off at release. Short arm swing with looseness out front, arm strength type, ¾ slot. Attacked hitters all game.
