Zachary
Edwards

Body Type: 6-foot-2 170-pound prospect with room to add strength to a projectable frame.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Fluid delivery, shows balance through lift and stride. Uses a short arm action working through a ¾ slot.

Fastball: 72-74 mph fastball shows above average run to the arm side.

Curveball: 60-64 mph curveball shows early 11/5 action. Shape varied at times and looked a bit slurvy.

Changeup: 71-74 mph changeup with consistent arm side run. Pitch is almost identical to the fastball, needs to take a little more velocity off the pitch.

Pitchability: Showed ability to throw all pitches for strikes. Changeup is basically another fastball and will need to improve that pitch moving forward.

Role: Most likely a bullpen arm, middle relief type at this stage.

 
1/26/19 Position

Body Type: 6-foot-2 170-pound prospect with room to add strength to a projectable frame.

Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium, balanced stance with compact hands. Uses a toe tap load and is short and quick to the ball. Showed a flat to nearly downhill bat path at times.

Hit: Solid bat to ball ability and decent barrel control.

Power: 75 mph exit velocity.

Offensive Projection: Present projection would mostly be limited to a line drive singles type of approach. Decent barrel control but swing limits power potential and ability to drive ball into the gaps.

Run: 4.11 home to 1st.

Throw: 82 mph throw from the outfield.

Field: Doesn’t really attack the ball or play through it particularly well. Could also improve footwork and the quickness of his release. Decent raw physical tools.

Defensive Projection: Presently probably projects as a corner guy although speed could make him a guy that would be able to be used situationally in all three outfield spots.
