Ritter is extremely projectable with a slender frame and short, clean arm action. He comes through a 3/4 slot and has effort and recoil after extension. He stays on line toward his target with his lower half. His fastball can sit in the high 80s with occasional arm-side run. He’ll flash a straight changeup at 76-78 and maintains good arm speed on the pitch. His curveball is inconsistent at times, but has 11/5 shape with sharp bite and tight rotation.
