The hands really work in his swing and he shows juice with a max exit velocity of 89 MPH.
Defensively, he was 77 MPH across the diamond. The feet are active pre pitch and move well to get him into a good fielding position. The hands work well as he moves through the ball and into the throwing position. The arm-swing is loose and he finishes through the play well.
On the mound, Letichevsky has developed and added velocity. The delivery is simple. He uses a modified stretch with a short step to balance over the back leg. He separates well at the top and creates consistent direction with home plate. The arm works out of a high over-the-top slot producing a fastball that sits 82-84 MPH with some late sink.
