1/13/13 Scheffey had one of the more memorable bullpen sessions that we have seen since PBR Pennsylvania's inception in April 2012. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound lefty filled up the strike zone with everything at the knees, throwing one ball in the entire session. While his velocity was not off the charts, his location and movement on all four pitches was impressive. Scheffey sat 74-76 with his fastball out of a 3/4 arm slot. The pitch has significant arm side run and comes out of the hand free and easy. Scheffey commands a 64 mph curveball that has a dramatic sweeping action as well as a 70 mph slider that has a tight, late break. His 70 mph changeup shows late downward action and arm side run. Scheffey throws all four pitches with the same rhythm, arm speed and arm angle. He has the kind of stuff that will be effective in getting out both right-handed and left-handed hitters at the next level.
