7/10/20: If you’re looking for an arm to project a big velo jump, Kubiatowicz is your guy. With a strong, athletic body type at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and an easy, on-line delivery he sat 85-86 on this recent look. However, he has shown up to 92 in the past, and more is likely to come in the near future. His best pitch in a 1-2-3 seventh inning was an average 76-77 mph curveball with very good shape and depth. Although his present velocity is well short to draw professional attention, Kubiatowicz is one to watch for 2022.
