Colin
Czajkowski

Another lefty transfer from a prominent 4-year D1 program, Czajkowski comes to Wabash from the University of Michigan. He was ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the 2019 Michigan prep class and showed many reasons why on scout day. Armed with a tailing two-seam fastball up to 92 mph and a deceptive change-of-pace, he impressed with the two-pitch combo. His changeup is a circle-grip with late, dirty action at 77-80 mph. It was consistently above average, flashing plus on occasion. His slider graded as below average-to-fringe on this look with flatter shape at 75-79 mph. Athletic at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, he showed a faster-paced delivery with a short, late pause which gave him some deception. His arm action is less than ideal with wrist curl in back, but he overcame the flaw to consistently find the strike zone from a high ¾ release point.
