Mueller

A SEMO recruit, the 6-foot-5, 205 pound righty sat 88-89 mph on his low-spin, running fastball. Working down the mound and from an over the top slot, he mixed in a below average slider/cutter at 83 mph and low-spin (1,360 rpm) sinking changeup at 79-80 mph during his 22-pitch appearance. The change was thrown with fastball arm speed, even further aiding the effectiveness of the pitch. Mueller also showed good deception, combining a high leg lift and a closed landing while hiding the ball behind his backside with a bow-and-arrow arm action and releasing out of his shirt sleeve.
