Estridge

VA/DC Scout Blog

Estridge is a West Virginia commit and is 6-7 with a long lankier athletic frame, projection left as he continues to fill out his frame. Throws from a three-quarters arm slot, long loose arm action that is quick, some late effort in his delivery and finishes with fall off and recoil. Fastball was 88-90 in the first, 87-89, touching 91 in the second, and then settled into 86-89 for the rest of his outing. His height and arm length creates natural downward angle on the pitch, he showed some late cutting action on it most of the night as well. Held his velocity when in the stretch, which he didn't go into until the middle of the game. Showed two offspeed pitches, a curveball that mostly had sharp 10/4 break to it. Tilt adjusted on it some, found his feel for it in the later innings, showed ability to throw it for a strike or to bury it for a swing, pitch ran 65-69, also adjusted speed to make it bigger later in game. Other offspeed pitch was a splitter with late hard dive and run and good armspeed, pitch was 75-76, got a few swing and misses but was used sparingly.

Estridge is a West Virginia commit and is 6-7 with a tall lankier frame that has some strength present and projection left to it. Shoulders are uphill and closed, hides the ball and creates deception, keeps body closed off before swinging into an open landing with a hard fall off finish and recoil. Arm breaks long before shortening up some on the back side, throws from a lower three-quarters arm action with a quick arm and higher effort to his delivery. Fastball was 89-92, topping at 93, pitch had some late boring action to armside and was mostly up in the zone during his bullpen. Curveball was 70-74, with very good armspeed and hard power 11/5 break to it. Breaking ball had very high spin in the 2750-2850 range, toping out at 2924. Can throw pitch for strikes or bury it down in the zone, shows swing and miss now. Changeup was 79-81 with good armspeed and a bit of late sink, confidently throws pitch in the zone.
