Redshirt-sophomore. 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame, workhorse build. The right-hander displayed feel for all three of his pitches throughout his ‘pen. He landed his fastball consistently for strikes, sitting 89-91 mph (T2350 RPM) with slight running action and a max IVB of 16.5. His breaking ball played with sharp downer action and 11/5 shape, 75-77 mph (T2424 RPM) - thrown consistently around the zone and manipulating shape to create more depth at times. His final offering was a heavy fading changeup with up to 17.9” of run, 82-83 mph.
5.19.17: Hoeymans has a lanky frame. Arm has some life from the outfield and showed some accuracy during pregame. Open stance with a short leg kick stride, pull approach, pulls off some. Line drive swing.
