Wachel

05.27.17 - Wachel’s 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame screams projection as it features wide shoulders and long limbs. Combine that with a quick, strong arm, and I believe Wachel has a chance to throw very hard in the future. Producing throws of 94 mph from the outfield, Wachel was able to show off some athleticism and arm strength at a recent PBR Texas event. When he hopped on the mound, he comfortably sat 86-88 during a bullpen (while trying not to slip on a turf mound). Wachel delivers out of a ¾ slot after putting together an evenly paced delivery that he repeats with ease. He shows feel for a changeup with late-fading action in the zone at 80 mph along with an 11/5 breaking ball at 73 mph. I think Wachel has a chance to progress at a rapid rate with more innings spent on the mound. His athleticism will carry him as his body continues to fill out, and I expect him to become a strong part of some school’s recruiting class in the future.
