Risedorph

Armed with a low-90s fastball and a slider and split-change that both played up, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound righthander filled the zone with an attacking, power approach. From a three-quarter release point he used his riding fastball as a finish pitch while repeating for strikes a 79-83 mph slider and 84-85 split. Sophomore-eligible by two days for the 2024 MLB Draft, Risedorph will likely face the opportunity to begin his pro career after this season, or return to Bloomington for his junior year.

Has good shoulder range of motion and a deliberate side step with a high leg kick. Gets to front side with ease. Will lay the ball back in his hand, and generate full extension out front. From the stretch, he moves to the far ride side of rubber makes the angle hard on right-handed hitters. FB is consistent and firm in command to zone. Slider has some depth and down action bite. Risedorph possesses a Split finger  with strong tumbling action in zone. He looks to be a durable innings eater with three usable pitches.
