Sherry

RHP Nicholas Sherry (Burlington Central, 2027) gave an impressive look in his ‘pen on Saturday. He has a strong-bodied, durable frame at 5-foot-11, 181-pounds, and he should still have room to add more strength moving forward. He has a simple tall/fall delivery that works in-line, and his arm is clean from a shorter path and high ¾ window. The fastball sat in the 85-87 mph range, with life out of the hand, creating some tilt through the zone. His curveball showed occasional depth with 11/5 shape, 73-75 mph with feel for the zone - while his slider showed more horizontal action with arm-speed, 75-77 mph. His final offering was a splitter he could kill spin on and land for strikes occasionally, 77-79 mph.
