Covington

9/22/14 - A week after we saw Covington in Topeka he bumped his top fastball velocity up to 85 mph at a tournament at Lindenwood University in St. Louis. 

9/15/14 - Covington breezed through five innings against the Kansas City Bullets on Saturday yielding just two hits and one walk while striking out eight.  He has an athletic 6-foot, 170-pound frame and a simple, repeatable delivery.  He features command of a sinking fastball up to 81 mph and advanced feel for a 67-68 mph slurve type breaking ball that he was able to throw in the strike zone in all counts to keep the Bullets off balance throughout the game.  Advanced command of a breaking ball is a rare deal for a high school pitcher and Covington has it.

8/6/14 - Covington is an athletic-framed 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher.  Deliberate delivery, tall balance point, lowers during stride, strides inline, athletic finish, maintains body control throughout.  Simple, repeatable delivery.  Short, easy arm action, low three-quarters slot, gets out front on all pitches.  Fastball runs into right-handers late, 77-81 mph.  Feel for 11/5 breaking ball, 66-68 mph.  Change-up with arm-side run, 70-71 mph.  Showed command of all three pitches.  Faced six batters, one hit, one strikeout.  11/15 strikes.
