Neiderhiser

8/15/12 

Neiderhiser had one of the top overall performances of the day. During his bullpen session the 6-foot-1, 165-pound lefty used solid mechanics to top at 81mph on his fastball. His two secondary pitches were both impressive. Neiderhiser showed a 69mph curveball with a hard, late 2/8 break. He also used near fastball arm speed with his 70mph changeup. Neiderhiser hides the ball extremely well and was one of the top strike throwers of the session.

He ran a 7.28 60-yard dash and showcased a strong arm (84mph) from the outfield with good carry. He took precise angles to the baseball and played through the ball consistently.

Offensively he utilized a 79mph bat exit speed velo and a solid approach to consistently square the baseball resulting in line drives to all fields.

9/27/12 Neiderhiser is an athletic prospect with a big upside. He was solid in all facets of the game during the event. Neiderhiser ran a 7.25 60-yard dash, had an 86mph bat exit speed and had good life to throws of 80mph from the outfield. Neiderhiser worked three solid innings on the mound topping at 82mph on a fastball that has good armside run. He also commanded a 70mph changeup and 67 mph curveball. Neiderhiser has extremely good hands at the plate, staying inside the baseball and uses all fields very well. His potential as a hitter sticks out.
