Hotovec was a pop-up prospect at this event that walked away as one of the more intriguing uncommitted lefties left in the class. His physical, 6-foot-3, 200 pound frame jumped out during check-in and he showed some athleticism by turning in a 6.90 60-time. Hotovec made his biggest impression in his two innings on the bump, showing off a mid-80s fastball (T 87) that played with significant arm-side run. There is some deception in the way the arm works, a compact arm action that hides behind the body until late before reaching a lower 3/4 slot. While his running fastball gave hitters fits, his mid-70s slider drew uncomfortable swings-and-misses to the back-foot of righties, while freezing and getting chase versus left-handed hitters. There is plenty of rawness to the operation now, with more control than command, but this physical lefty could really tick further with proper refinements to the delivery.
