Listed at 6-foot-7, 165-pounds, with long, loose limbs, Olejnik oozes upside/projection and TrackMan numbers tended to back that up. The curveball played with big 12/6 depth and feel with spin upwards of 2400 RPM. His fastball comes out of the hand clean at 82-83 mph and touched 86 early in his outing. Given his extra long frame, Olejnik repeated well, threw strikes and controls his body. Seems to have plenty more velocity in the tank. High-ceiling 2021 arm still on the market.
