3/17/18- 6-foot-2, 190-pound right-handed pitcher. Meffert was another pitcher that I really liked last year who has only gotten better since. Now 6-foot-2, and a strong 190-pounds, Meffert has matured into his broad-shouldered, athletic frame. He worked 84-85 with his fastball, and showcased a quick, strong arm as he fell down the mound before releasing out of a high slot. Pounding the zone with his fastball, he featured more of a firm slider at 74-75 this year as opposed to more of a curveball in the past. The slider has the makings of a swing and miss pitch, and is thrown with fastball hand speed which should allow it to develop more quickly. Overall, there is a lot to like about how well Meffert’s arm works, and given the advancements that he has made over the past year, I suspect he will continue to elevate his game moving forward.
