Wesley
Pyles

2/20/12: The lanky 6-foot, 176-pound Pyles is a left handed pitcher who should show continued progress as he continues to develop. Coming from a high ¾ arm slot, Pyles has deceptive delivery and a quick arm that works well, with fastballs from 79 to 81 mph that had late sink. He showed good feel for a sharp breaking ball (68-72 mph). Pyles also showed a 67-69 mph change up, with late sink. The movement of his pitches looks like he could be very tough on left handed hitters.  At the plate, the left handed hitting Pyles showed good hands and a level swing driving the ball gap to gap with backspin carry. In the field, Pyles showed concise routes to the ball and good arm action with accurate throws (75-79 mph).
