On the mound displayed a fast arm with a 85-86 mph fastball. Sharp breaking curve 65-67 mph and sinking changeup 73-75 mph .

6-foot-4, 180 pound projectable prospect has added height and weight since we've last seen him. He's been high on the radar since his freshman year. In the field moves to the right to gain momentum going through the ball taking a step and throwing from a high 3/4 arm angle. Has good range. At the plate has a tall wide stance holding the bat over his shoulder. Moves his hands back and has a toe tap load. Has a tad bit long swing but makes very good contact often. When he squares it up he absolutely crushes it. On the mound works quickly throwing from a high 3/4 arm angle. Fastball sat 80-84 mph low in the zone. 60 mph 11/5 breaking curve and a sinking 67-70 mph.

Helgeson has a projectable 6-foot-3, 170-pound frame. He throws from a high-3/4 arm slot with a long arm action and quick arm speed. He has a quick tempo on the mound and strides slightly across his body. His fastball sat 77-80 mph and had late sink. His changeup sat 62-64 mph with sink. His curveball sat 57-60 mph with 11/5 break and showed depth. He slowed his arm down with both of his off speed pitches. He did well with keeping his front shoulder close until he delivered the pitch. He is a good, young prospect to follow.
