Klaus is a unique upside arm who works out of a ¾ slot and gets well above average horizontal movement to both sides of the plate. Klaus sat at an easy 85-87 mph with his fastball and 70-72 mph with a lateral curveball that spins in the 2400-2600 rpm range. Most notably, both pitches average more than 16 inches of horizontal movement to opposite sides of the plate, making a difficult at bat for opposing hitters
Klaus has a 5-foot-11, 153-pounds wide-shouldered build that looks to have plenty of room for continued added physical development. His arm works short, loose and quick, showing easy upper-80’s velocity; sitting 86-88 mph throughout his ‘pen (up from 82-84 this past summer) while controlling the zone. He also featured two above-average secondary offerings, with his curveball showing sharp, late action at times, working off an 11/5 plane and registering a couple of 2400+ rpm’s. His mid-70’s changeup was thrown for strikes with fade action. Upside, easy arm with seemingly much more velocity to come.
Positional Profile: RHP; Emerged as a follow member of this 2022 class at this event.
Body: 5-foot-11, 153-pounds. Strong, athletic build; notable strength in the lower half.
Delivery: Squared start from the center of the rubber; simple side step to level knee at balance point. Shoulders go closed at separation, leg drops in short, closed stride and landing, athletic finish. Easy effort throughout.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose, and quick arm action with especially easy arm strength; high 3/4 slot.
FB: T86, 81-85 mph. Jumps from the hand with natural arm-side action, hard finish through the zone.
CB: 66-69 mph. 10/4 shape that flashed sharp action, tight spin; still harnessing feel and spin.
CH: 69-73 mph. Mostly maintains arm speed; inconsistent feel to locate but generates hard sink/run action.
Positional Profile: RHP Raw right-handed arm who generates easy arm speed and well above average FB velocity for his age.
Body: 5-foot-11, 153-pounds. Lean loose build.
Delivery: Smooth delivery, with tempo, stays level and balanced, squared landing, low effort.
Arm Action: RH. Long loose arm action, easy arm speed out of 3/4 slot.
