Estimated 6-foot-3, 215-pound durable, projectable frame. The right-hander throws from a ¾ slot with an athletic, repeatable delivery. His fastball was 86-88 mph, touched 90 mph. Commanded the fastball low in the zone to both sides of the plate, flashing arm-side run inside to righties. He threw a slider that was 77-79 mph with 10-4 action, occasionally getting more over the top of it and having it go 11-5.
06.26.18 Simmons committed to Furman shortly after this event. The right-hander has a strong, projectable, durable frame at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds. Simmons comes off the rubber with a repeatable delivery and quiet mechanics. He rocks his glove towards his waist before bringing the baseball back to his chest, where he subsequently breaks his hands with an athletic drive towards home plate. His high ¾ delivery is benefitted by an explosive top-half, producing a heavy 88-90 mph fastball with arm-side run. His 78-79 mph slider contains tight 11-5 shape, as the pitch was consistently thrown from the same window and equal effort from his fastball. He flashed a 79 mph changeup with fade and angle that could be harnessed as yet another secondary out-pitch.
