Although the power righthander did not pitch this weekend for the Aggies, he may have finally figured out how to harness his stuff this spring. After walking 40 in 41.2 innings last season, he has now walked just ten in 19.2 innings this spring. It’s still not an ideal walk rate, but it is much improved and a sign of progress. Cortez already had one of the best arms in the country with his fastball averaging 97 mph this season. His 86-87 slider, although still scattered with command, has a 51.5% (96th percentile) whiff rate. That’s top-of-the-scale raw stuff that will likely have 4th to 5th-round value this summer.

Arizona commit, Chris Cortez, sit at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with impressive, present strength and twitch that his is still understanding how to utilize. has cemented himself as one of the best arms in state with a fastball that sits in the 94 to 96 mph with high level arm speed. His breaking ball showed serious life with 11/5 shape and sign are pointing towards it being a potential plus pitch along with a changeup that is still in the development phase, but flashed projectable arm side action with heaviness. Consistency being able to locate is one of the very few knocks on Cortez as he relies heavily on athleticism, evident by his 6.67 Laser Timed 60, at this point with his delivery and with some polish to make a few minor tweaks could make his motion that much more repeatable, in turn allowing him to live in the zone on a regular basis. Cortez stock has been on then rise over the past year and it would not be a surprise to see a team take a chance on this arm who seems to only be scratching the surface.
