Portraying an athletic and strong 6-foot-1, 178-pound build, Rybarcyk put on a show on the mound and at the plate. Rybarczyk started the game on the bump throwing two innings not allowing a single earned run and only giving up one hit. Rybarczyk works down the mound fully extending over his front leg. He fully extends his arm in his delivery and throws out of a 3/4 arm slot. The lefty possesses an 80-83 mph firm fastball complemented by a 74-75 mph sweeping slider. At the plate, the left-handed batter went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and scored two runs. He’s loose and easy-going in the box with a long stride and smooth level swing.

Rybarczyk showcased a four-pitch mix using an athletic and repeatable delivery with a quick, whippy arm. His fastball sat in the 78-80 mph range, topping at 81 mph and showed quality life and finish through the bottom of the zone. His low-70s curveball has late 12/6 break and was spun over 2,400 RPM at it's peak, too. The slightly harder slider has more tilt than the curveball and offers a different look to hitters, while being spun at a higer rate, roughly 2,600 RPM at max. Additionally, Rybarczyk features feel for his mid-to-high-70s changeup that has substantial fade and depth at the plate with good arm speed out of the hand.
6/17/23
Rybarczyk gave an upside look out of the bullpen for Hit Machine on Saturday night. Projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 165-pounds. Athletic motion on the mound, arm is clean and loose. Fastball was up to 80 mph and got swings and misses in the zone. Showed a low-70s breaking ball with hard bite that missed barrels. An intriguing arm to follow as the summer goes on.
