Athleticism present in the projectable, 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame that has gained noticeable strength since last summer. Polished, athletic, balanced operation that works in-line. Turns the ball to CF during a loose-wristed, high takeaway and turns it over with some quickness to a higher slot. Poured fastball strikes at 81-83 to both sides. Controlled an average breaking ball with two-plane break in the low-70s while also showing feel for a sinking change at 76-78. Quality follow considering the frame, the athleticism within it, and the strike-throwing nature.

Simpson showed as one of the more projectable arms of the day with a lean, 6-foot-3, 165 pound frame. He attacked the zone with a 78-80 mph fastball that played with ASR, and his 74-76 change offered the same action and was sold with similiar arm speed to the heater. He also showed a bigger shaped, 67-70 mph breaking ball. The feel and upside are what I like best here, filling the zone to post two quick zeros, with a frame that has a chance to pack on strength in a hurry.
