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.
