Athletic thin frame standing 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame. Gathers upright over the rubber before a drop and drive down the mound, landing on line. Full arm circle and throws from three-quarter slot. Ward showed the ability to throw three pitches for strikes from the jump. It was a fastball, curveball, changeup mix and used the changeup effectively. The fastball sat at 79-81 mph and worked to both sides of the plate. He threw the breaking ball for strikes at 63-66 mph with 12/6 shape. The changeup had gradual fade at 73-76 mph with above average feel for the zone.
