6-foot-4, 185-pound lengthy projectable frame. At the plate, Biernot recorded an exit velocity of 82 mph. (63.4 mph bat speed average). (20.3 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced athletic stance with a quick compact load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed was efficient, displayed a short upward swing plane and high finish. Through his round he found a few barrels. Pull side approach. On the mound, had a long loose arm action and a ¾ arm angle with quick consistent arm speed. Drop-and-drive up-tempo type pitcher and shows easy effort. Showed tall balance point with uphill shoulders. Lands square. Threw his fastball 78-81 mph and topped out at 82 mph; shows both sides of the plate command and running deceiving action. (Max spin 2254; Avg 1978). He showed some control and hard action on his 1/7 curveball (70-73). (Max spin 1975; Avg 1919). His changeup (74-75) shows down in the zone control and sinking action.
