Van Dam’s bullpen was no short of eye-opening. The ‘24 lefthander showed us an uber-deceptive three pitch mix for consistent strikes out of a cross-body slot, highlighted by a slider that broke into the 2400+ RPM range. Fastball came back to the arm side, while the changeup was an equally impressive offering with enough fade to stay off of barrels. Creates angles that look exceedingly difficult to hitters from both sides of the plate, and has impressed in recent game action. At 6-feet, 145lb, he still has a lot of frame to play with. Exciting arm that should continue to be a tough AB as he grows.
