Steiner

Steiner looked to be one of the better defenders in attendance on Monday, cruising the outfield with athletic actions and a quick first step – also playing aggressively through the ball with soft hands. His arm plays from a ¾ slot with accuracy and carry through his target, reaching up to 82 mph from a crow-hop. At the plate, the right-handed hitter moves with a short and direct path to the ball, remaining flat through the zone with quick hands. In his ‘pen, while erratic, Steiner has some raw skill that isn’t easy to come by. His straight four-seam, low-80s fastball spins at high rates, measured as high as 2,575 rpm, and generally that spin feel can be morphed into a swing-and-miss offering on a breaking ball, and he’s working on both a curveball and slider at this time.
