Eli Gardenhire, Boyd Buchanan (TN), 2024
Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 6-4, 175-pounds.
Delivery: Slower delivery guy with great arm side sink. The lefty has great feel for his CH with late life. With a runner on his hands are still in sink with his front leg but struggles with getting the ball out of his glove. Tunnles all 3 pitches well for strikes. Doesn't shy away from contact after an early walk. The lefty contuines to pound the zone with all 3 pitches.
Arm Action: LH. Taller pitcher with high 3/4 arm slot. Hides the ball well for a long time.
FB: T82, 78-80 mph. FB plays best when its thrown for a stirke armside. He creates good sink to his ball. FB will be working best when he gets lots of weak contact early in the count, will be hard for hitters to stay on his FB and go the other way with it T1986, 1836 average rpm.
SL: 67-69 mph. SL will play best when he throws it down the middle and lets it break to his glove side. Should be thrown mostly to LHH as its moving away from them and will tunnel with his FB well, can mix it in to RHH to steal strikes T2016, 1934 average rpm.
CH: 70-71 mph. CH will play great off his FB. Has similar profile but good speed difference. Has armside fade. Will fool lots of hitters into weak contact or groundballs T1953, 1725 average rpm.
