Joseph Valentine: LHP/OF, (2022) Medina, OH. Wright State Commit, 6-foot-2, 175-pound. Solid on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a loose arm action while showing consistent arm speed. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and shows some effort. Displays even shoulders with an athletic balance point. Lands soft with a clean finish. Threw his fastball 88-91 mph. Had slight running action. (Max spin 2371; Avg 2268). His 1/7 curveball (70-75) shows some sweeping action. (Max spin 2434; Avg 2422). He has slight fading action on his changeup (76-77).
Joseph Valentine: LHP/OF, (2022) Medina, OH. 6-foot-1, 170-pound. Smooth on the mound, showed quick arm speed, he had a compact arm action with an over-the-top arm angle. Feel type pitcher who shows easy effort. Has an athletic balance point and in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Curveball (66-69 mph), changeup (80-81 mph). Produced a fastball that came in at 85-89 mph.
Joseph Valentine: LHP/OF, (2022) Medina, OH. 6-foot, 154-pound athletic frame. On the mound, showing electric arm speed he used a loose arm action with a ¾ arm angle. Up-tempo type pitcher and shows easy effort. Athletic balance point. Produced a fastball that came in at 86-88 mph; shows running action and arm side control. Throws a 1/7 curveball (66-69) that has plus action. Has arm side command and fading action on his changeup (75-76).
Scouting Notes: High follow in 2022 class. Athletic movement patterns for the young southpaw and arm really works. Breaking ball will need to tighten up moving forward but showed the ability to locate the pitch in the zone consistently. Fastball was up to 84mph and wouldn't be shocked if he's consistently in the mid 80s if not higher before it's all said and done.
Fastball: 81-84mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1981-2056
Breaking Ball: 60-63mph.
Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1570-1945
Changeup: 66-67 mph.
2/8/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes:Looks the part on the mound. Loose arm, on time at foot strike. More in the tank. High follow. Starter look to him with three pitch potential.
Fastball: Mostly true through the zone. Higher spin rate guy. Expect this number to be much higher down the road. 80-82 mph presently.
Fastball Spin Rate:2250-2270
Curveball: Signs of sharpness. 1/7 plane. Will only get better as velo jumps. 63-64 mph.
Curveball Spin Rate: 1980-2150
Changeup: Well above average pitch. Showed feel for the offering.
Pitchability: Strike thrower.
2/2/19
Body Type: 5-foot-9, 135-pound athletic frame with room to add.
Swing Mechanics: Left-handed hitter that starts in a balanced stance. Very athletic movements to loading sequence.
Hit: Easy, fluid actions in the box. Balanced swinger with some feel. Was at his best to the middle of the field. Smooth swinger.
Power: 73 mph exit velocity. More of a contact guy that will grow into much more pop with physical maturity.
Offensive Projection: Top of the LIneup.
Run: 4.66 H-1st.
Field: Plays under control and with fluidity throughout fielding process in the outfield.
Throw: 74 mph arm strength to home plate. Arm is potential top tool. Uber loose arm. Ball comes out easy. Much more strength to come.
Defensive Projection: LF.
2/2/19 Pitching
Body Type: 5-foot-9, 135-pound athletic frame with room to add.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Young southpaw to follow. Arm is loose, whippy and delivery is athletic/easy. Very efficient lower half that creates energy down the hill. Going to throw much harder someday.
Fastball: Comes out easy with late life through the zone. Obvious candidate for velo jump.
Curveball: 1/7 shaped offering that shows sign of sharpness with big action through the zone.
Changeup: Well above average offering for class. Maintains arm speed on the offering that has a nice combination of cut and sink to it.
