Golden has a powerful 6-foot, 208-pound frame, and his long, loose arm allowed him to run his fastball up to 90 mph at a recent PBR Texas event. The right-hander repeats a simple delivery while striding out longer than his 6-foot frame, allowing his fastball to play up even firmer. Golden has strong legs and broad shoulders, and delivers out of a high ¾ slot while creating a downward angle. His breaking ball features 11/5 action at 70-71, although I can see him switching to a harder cutter/slider in the future based on the fastball hand speed that he throws the pitch with. Golden’s strong arm will make him an interesting prospect to recruiters throughout the summer.
