Laverdure

6-foot-2, 275-pound left-handed pitcher. Showed extremely well for me as he continues to improve. The delivery is compact, online and quick in tempo. The glove has minimal pull to it and his posture throughout is improving. Occasionally, he comes out of his delivery and tries to do too much, when that happens you sacrifice command of the ball. The fastball touched 83 mph, arm side run at times. The spin pitches are very good, the slider sat at 76 mph, plus at times. The breaking ball is big in shape, sat at 70 mph. The changeup is trending appropriately, sitting at 77 mph. I like the kid and like the spin, could be a good one if the slider keeps trending up.  He loves to pitch.
