Knarr

8/1/15 Knarr sat 85-86, while topping at 87 mph during three innings of work at the PBR Future Games. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound lefty struggled with footing on a turf mound, but flashed a sharp breaking curveball at 72 mph that shows good depth and late biting action. Knarr has a compact delivery and a quick arm that makes his fastball jump out of the hand. He registered five strikeouts in his three innings of work.

5/8/15 Knarr was dominant registering 19 strikeouts in a 1st round playoff game. Knarr sat 84-86 into the 7th inning touching 87 and 88 multiple times during the course of his evening. Knarr showed an occasional changeup at 72-74 but relied heavily on a sharp breaking 1/7 curveball that has solid down action at 69-71. Knarr starts with a simple side rocker step and repeats his delivery routinely with a high 3/4 arm slot.

11/1/14 Knarr threw three pitches for strikes out of a high-3/4 slot.  The stocky 5-foot-10, 195-pounder's simple, repeatable delivery includes a wrist wrap. His 82-84 fastball and 71-74 change-up were both fairly straight, but he commanded them in the zone well. His 1/7 curveball showed good shape and should tighten up as his velocity creeps higher.

6/25/14 Knarr impressed with a fastball that sat 82-84 with late life. The sturdy 5-foot-11, 195-pound lefty delivered his three pitch mix with a side rocker step and a fluid delivery from a high 3/4 arm slot. Knarr's 1/7 breaking curveball showed two-plane action at 66 mph and his 74 mph changeup was thrown for strikes at near fastball arm speed. Knarr worked three innings allowing three hits while striking out five.
