De La Rosa is a wiry but projectable 6-foot-3 155 pound RHP. Pitching- De La Rosa has a strong presence on the mound. He has effortless mechanics , high leg kick and long stride with a clean arm action from a high ¾ arm slot. He mixed in a three pitch mix FB, CB, and CH. Command waivered on this day but we have seen him more consistent. Improved velo will come with more physical strength and gains.
Tall wiry body type with long limbs. Improved velo will come with more physical strength and gains. High leg lift then quick explosive drive to the plate. Tends to fall off to his glove side after landing point. FB shows some life/run out of hand and is deceptive with his shoulder tilt towards the target. Long arm take away with good whip action at the release. Arm slot is high 3/4. CB/SLD is hard down movement with late bite. Works from the stretch but has great energy to the plate.
