Listed at 6-foot, 166-pounds, the right-hander displayed a loose and athletic delivery that indicates there is more in the tank. His arm is also extremely loose throughout its path, working into a ¾ release. His fastball worked in the 87-88 mph range, topping out at 88.5 mph with easy life out of the hand and arm-side run. His curveball has wipeout potential, playing with 11/5 slurvy shape and depth, 75-76 mph. His changeup showed similar actions to his fastball with horizontal running action, playing at 78-80 mph. Overall, Hirthe is a high-upside arm to know that’s still uncommitted.
A solid 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame. Worked down the mound well. Utilized a strong two-seam fastball that had some run. Maintained velocity through seven innings of work sitting 80-82 mph topping 83 mph in the second inning. Had a strong 11/5 curveball that had a sharp drop and was sitting 71-73 mph. Stat Line: W, 7 IP, CG, 10 K, 3 H, 2 BB, R.
Hirthe impressed during the nightcap on Friday. Wiry 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame with plenty of room for added strength. Athletic left-handed hitter with a loose bat that covers the plate well. Natural hitter with feel to hit the ball to all-fields. Also an above average defender up the middle, showcasing confident actions and an athletic arm-action. A prospect to keep on your radar after a strong all-around showing this weekend.
