During the inning of work, Denlow attacked mainly with a fastball that had some late arm-side run on it, sitting 87-88 mph.

The 6-foot-1, 165-pound right-hander works with a controlled tempo on the mound, moving into a drop/drive lower-half that remains in-line with the plate, landing with a closed front foot. His arm works short out of the glove with a repeatable arm circle into a high ¾ slot, producing a fastball up to 85.5 mph with life through the zone and running action to the arm-side at times. His curveball plays with 11/5 shape, flashing sharp action at times at 69-73 mph (T2258 RPM). His final offering was a changeup that flashed heavy fading action, 73-74 mph.

Uncommitted. Hopped on the mound to glove out the game against No. 23 Marist and tossed a clean inning of work. His arm plays clean out of the glove throughout his arm-circle and moves into a high ¾ slot. With a slight drop/drive delivery that has very little perceived effort, the right-hander cruised at 82-85 mph throughout his inning of work, pounding the zone with sinking action. He also showed feel for two different off-speed pitches; the first being a curveball with gradual 11/5 shape at 66 mph, and the second being a fading changeup at 69 mph, kept mostly down in accordance to the zone.
