Rudnick was a smooth mover on the bump during his bullpen, flashing the ability to throw strikes with his three-pitch mix. Rudnick’s arm-side running-fastball (avg. 12.2” HM) sat 78-80 mph, while he landed an 11/5 shaped curveball at 66-68 mph, and spun a short slider at 68-69 mph for strikes (80% in-zone).
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 145-pounds.
Delivery: Simple, stretch-only delivery. Tall and fall, repeats and works on-line.
Arm Action: RH. Clean, uninterrupted arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T79, 78-79 mph. Plays mostly straight, creates angle, around the zone. T2197, 2111 average rpm.
CB: 67-68 mph. 11/5 shaped, consistently around the zone. T2086, 2028 average rpm.
SL: 68-69 mph. Above-average feel, short late wrinkle, landed in the zone 80% of the time. T2087, 2052 average rpm.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-1, 133-pounds. Long levers, with room for added growth.
Delivery: Stretch only, maintains bend in the back knee throughout leg-lift and stride, slight drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm swing into a 3/4 slot.
FB: T80, 79-80 mph. Life out of the hand and through the zone. T2177, 2101 average rpm.
CB: 68-69 mph. Sharp 11/5 shape with depth, some feel. T2093, 2017 average rpm.
SL: 70-71 mph. Sharp 10/4 shape with some feel, flashed late action. T2091, 1959 average rpm.
Positional Profile: INF
Body: 5-11, 120-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Wide setup, weight on back-knee, leg-kick timing trigger into a long stride. Drops hands slightly at footstrike, flat path with loose arms to the ball.
Power: 75.5 max exit velocity, averaged 69.7 mph. 255’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 70 mph. Long loose arm action, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Plays to the ball, average hands, quick exchange.
Run: 4.90 runner home-to-first.
Positional Profile: RHP
Delivery: Stretch only, level shoulders, lands closed.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T73.2, 71.0-72.5 mph. Four seam type. T1823, 1713 average rpm.
CB: 61.5-62.9 mph. Early, 11/5 shape, gradual break. T1923, 1892 average rpm.
SL: 64.4-67.0 mph. Gradual 10/4 movement. T1685, 1685 average rpm.
RHP Josh Rudnick (Huntley) was yet another arm that showed well over the weekend. The 5-foot-11, 120-pound right-hander worked exclusively from the stretch, starting with a back-knee preload before moving into a drop/drive lower-half. His arm plays long out of the glove with a high ¾ arm slot, producing a fastball up to 73 mph with life through the zone and running action to his arm-side. He paired a 62-63 mph curveball off his fastball, showing feel for the zone while playing off an 11/5 plane. Rudnick’s third and final offering was a slider in the 64-67 mph range, working off a short 10/4 plane and acting as a cutter at times while maintaining arm-speed.
Positional Profile: RHP
