4/18/14 - John A. Logan commit, ranked No. 65 in the state, No. 306 overall. Big bodied right hander, 6-foot-5, 230-pounds, sturdy build, excellent pitchers frame. Controls size well, delivery shows the ability to repeat, head stays on line, closed landing. Arm works from ¾ slot, separates with thumb up, shorter back swing, rigid separation and backswing, arm works much cleaner out front, longer with separation from head. Fastball touched 90 several times, mostly in first inning, once again in fourth, created good angle with sink, pitched primarily at 88 mph, dipped slightly in stretch but held velocity through seven innings. Breaking ball has slurve action, occasionally decelerated arm speed, ranged from 72-74 mph touching 75 mph, tendency to get underneath pitch, occasional lazy action, better suited for power slider. Dietz was a pleasant surprise as his big strong frame was able to hold 88 mph throughout his outing creating excellent angles from his ¾ slot with sink. Dietz proved tough to elevate, recording just three outs via the air.
