11/9/2014:  Favero stands 6-foot-3 and has an athletic frame. He throws from a high three-quarters slot and has a short, loose arm path. His mechanics are smooth, his shoulders are uphill and closed at power position, and he stays on line through a complete follow through. Favero’s fastball sat 82-83 on the day, touching a few 84s. He showed some run on his fastball that was more prevalent when he threw it to his armside of the plate. Favero also threw a hard breaking curveball that ran 65-70 and a good change-up with full armspeed and running action to it that sat 72-78. Favero commanded all three pitches well and used them effectively to generate a lot of swing and misses and poor contact.
