Jacob
Bazala

Physical: Prototypical starter’s build at 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame with plenty of athleticism in a long limbed body creating lots of quickness in the actions.

Pitching: RHP - Quiet pace in the delivery with a feel for quality leg drive and arm speed through a fluid high ¾ slot. Worked 83-86 mph on the FB with legitimate play above the belt tunneled with a sharp 65-66 mph CB showing 11/5 shape with two-plane action. Featured feel for a 70-72 mph CH at near fastball arm-speed with occasional depth at the plate.

The primary 6-foot, 187 pound right-handed pitcher featured a strong, athletic frame with easy physicality in his actions. Impressed with one of the top bullpens of the day sitting 86-87 mph with an electric fastball up in the zone utilizing a fluid and athletic arm swing out of a repeatable, high ¾ arm-slot with quality leg drive on the backside. Countered with a 68-70 mph curveball that showed late 11/5 shape with depth. Mixed in a 71-72 mph changeup that played well when thrown down in the zone. With improved arm-speed on the CH, he will feature three legit pitches primed for the next-level. Advanced arm-speed on the fastball suggests that a quality changeup should develop in the future.
