A towering man among boys type build that reminds of former MLB pitcher Jeff Niemann. An ACL injury kept Timmer out of action through the summer/fall headed into his senior campaign at Bingham HS and he was behind the 8 ball a bit headed into the 2021 season as one of the top uncommitted prep arms at the time. Pitching with a compact delivery that features extreme downhill plane from his towering height, Timmer breaks over the rubber in timing and sequencing his delivery, while coming at hitters with a short to medium takeaway in back. This action produces a short dart-like high three-quarter arm slot through release. His fastball ranged from 88-93 with ride and carry through the zone a year ago, but is now in the 91-95 range. He could add even more mph as he continues along in his college career. His 74-77 mph curveball shows slurve type action and his changeup 74-75 with feel to kill spin. Its fade and late sinking action creates swing/miss below the zone. Look for a big year out of Timmer in 2023 as he moves into the rotation for one of the better staffs out west.
