8.12.18 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame. Patel threw one of the best breaking balls of the day, and he threw it whenever he wanted. Working from a high-¾ slot, Patel has a clean arm swing with all three pitches coming out of the same window. His fastball comes out easy at 82-84 mph, but the curveball is a pure 12/6 hammer with sharp, downer break at 70-71. Also showed feel for a 77 mph changeup that he got a swing and miss from a LHH.
