Gantz

6-foot, 150 lbs with a square shaped upper half and lean strength throughout. Offensively, uses a tall, upright set-up with an open lower half. Loose, relaxed hands keep barrel in upright position prior to forward stride. Slight hover on backside into forward move as hands push back to load. Simple actions with limited moving parts. Lands balanced and allows hands to work easily to the ball. Loose barrel action into contact as backside gets through the ball. Defensively, moves well in the INF with versatile actions and arm strength to handle multiple positions on the dirt. Clean footwork to work around the ball and come thru the play with momentum into the throw. Soft glove hand as he funnels ball in. Tight, compact arm action with a quick release from low ¾ slot. Arm shows plenty of carry. On the mound, velocity has continued to climb across multiple looks. Worked out of the stretch in this pen session, throwing from the far left side of the rubber with slight cross action at landing. Leads out with hip as he comes down from leg lift and gets into stride. Shorter stride length helps speed up the arm and really shows off his hand speed. Inward turn with upper half hides the ball and creates some added deception. Arm path is bent/compact throughout. Ball jumps out of hand from behind his ear with life thru the zone. Really attacks hitters with FB on the looks we’ve had in-game. Has aptitude for spin and the ability to shape multiple breaking balls. Highly competitive demeanor on the mound with poise and pitchability.
