Archer

Archer has a strong, projectable frame for a sophomore at 6-foot-1, 170-pounds. The right-handed hitter starts from a crouched stance with a wide base and relaxed rhythm in his hands, then loads back smooth as he replaces his front foot with a short stride. Does a nice job of maintaining his spine angle while he slots the barrel early, working on an upward plane through contact with an exit velocity of 83 mph. In the outfield, Archer plays through the ball with quickish footwork before hopping on his back leg as he makes a clean exchange, then throws from a loose, over-the-top slot with a top velocity to the plate of 80 mph. A two-way player and right-handed pitcher, Archer works from a high slot with a clean arm swing, and a tall-and-fall delivery. Lands slightly across his body on the heel of his front foot. His fastball ranged from 79-81, while his curveball has still developing 11/5 shape at 66-68. Maintains arm speed on his changeup that has depth to his arm side at 67-68 mph.
