Sopha will be an arm to watch this spring as the sturdy 6-foot-3, 215-pound right-hander showed a well-rounded four-pitch arsenal, advanced for his age. Sopha sat 83-86 mph relatively comfortably and with control of the zone. He showed two separate breaking balls, a 12/6 curveball with depth, and a lateral slider, both with different characteristics. Sopha rounds it out with a straight change that showed sinking action.
