Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1877-2106

2/9/20 Pitching Delivery Notes: Helms throws from a high ¾ arm slot. His delivery isn’t particularly dynamic. Creates a downhill plane on his pitches. Fastball: The fastball was 77-79 mph and mostly true through the zone. Curveball: His breaking ball was 60-62 mph with slurvey shape and minimal bite. Pitch shows potential but needs to be thrown with more aggressiveness. Changeup: The changeup was 69-70 mph. Pitchability: Overall average feel for his stuff but there’s definitely more projection in there. Breaking ball presently is average but shows potential to develop into a quality offering.

Body Type: 5-foot-9, 130-pound athletic frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Rolls through his delivery with athletic actions. Ball comes out without a ton of effort. High-¾ right-hander with a clean arm that should see velo gains with maturity.
Fastball: 78-80 mph. Live pitch for class. Challenges hitters with the offering that he will use to either side of the plate.
Curveball: 58-62 mph. 11/5 big breaker that has gradual action to it.
Changeup: 66-67 mph. Loses a bit of arm speed on the pitch. Stuff wise it plays, showing late run/dive to it.
Pitchability: Ton of feel for the fastball with flashes of tossing the secondary stuff in the zone.
Additional Comments: Good size with a live fastball and more strength to come. 

3/4/18
5-foot-6, 130 pounds with an athletic frame on the mound. The right handed pitcher throws through a 3/4 slot with short arm action. Uses some effort in delivery. Displays a solid three-pitch mix. Fastball displays quickness out of hand and creates some significant arm-side run at 65-68 mph. Breaking ball features gradual 10/4 movement while sitting 52-53 mph. Changeup is deceptive as he uses fastball arm speed, and the pitch sits 57-60 mph.
