John Ulreich, Oak Ridge (TN), 2024 Positional Profile: RHP/OF Body: 6-3, 170-pounds. Long limbed and high waisted frame with room to fill out. Arm Action: RH FB: T79, 76-79 mph. FB has high induced vertical and adding some more velocity will make pitching at the top of the zone very effective for him. T1924, 1820 average rpm. CB: 61-63 mph. CB has big break to it. SHoould be used to steal strikes and keep hitters off his FB T1610, 1492 average rpm. SPLT: 64-67 mph. Really good offering and a pitch hitters don't see ever. The velocity really dips on the pitch and has a screwball effect through the zone. Generated a lot of swing and miss at the offering. Must work into the zone to really be effective
