4.1.15 - Arizona State recruit; ranked No. 5 in Illinois’ 2015 class, No. 58 overall. Hulking 6-foot-8, 235-pound frame, high-interest draft prospect. Fastball sat 91-93 mph in first inning, reaching as high as 94 mph multiple times. Held velocity well in middle innings, 90-92 mph, was 88-90 in fifth. Fastball has arm side run when down in the zone, late life on strikeouts up in the zone. Threw mostly fastballs first time through the order, started working in curveball in the third inning, two consecutive 73 mph breaking balls froze hitters for strikeouts. Curveball had 11/5 shape, 72-75 mph range. Did not throw a changeup in game, but looked to have solid feel in bullpen and between innings. Jenkins is beginning to put it together, impressing most with the fact he threw 53 of 79 pitches for strikes. Struck out 10, walked two in 4.1 innings. Both walks and the only hit allowed occurred during the fifth inning when he tired.
3/14/18 - 6’8/240, Junior. Tall, large bodied reliever with H slot. Sat 92-94 mph with his fastball. Sprayed it around, both up in the zone and spiked several in front of home plate. Slider was 84-87 mph with rotation, yet not for strikes. The lack of a secondary pitch and a poorly located fastball resulted in a tough day, he was hit hard. Arm action and delivery have improved since high school, but even under the tutelage of one of the best college pitching coaches in the game, he remains a project. Depending upon his signability, he is a potential Day 3 pick for a team looking for a big bodied project with a good arm.
