Horton

06.19.18
6-0, 180-pound athletic frame.  Horton is a left-handed pitcher who works with fluid rhythm and an upbeat tempo in the windup.  Horton threw his four-pitch mix consistently in the strike zone. His fastball sat at 80-81 from a ¾ arm angle, his curveball was 66-68 mph with a 10/4 shape break, he threw a sweeping slider ranging from 69-72, and threw his changeup down in the zone at 74-76 mph.  At the plate he takes an aggressive hack from the right side out of an athletic stance. He showed line drive power in batting practice with quick hands at the plate, and popped an 81 mph exit velo off the tee. He has fluidity throughout the swing, and uses his lower half well to generate bat speed. Horton ran a 7.28 laser-timed 60. From the outfield he topped out at 82 mph with accuracy, a clean exchange, and he stays low to the ground on the exchange by using a shuffle of his feet to build momentum towards the plate.
