Scheps

6-foot, 180-pound, average athletic frame, shoulders are sloped and he has plenty of room to fill out. A right-handed pitcher, the delivery is sound and simple and he repeats it with ease. The arm works out of a high-¾ slot, has some sink to arm side. The backside is strong, pitches downhill, direction is inline and he pounds it low in the zone. The fastball was 81-83 mph, the breaking pitch was 68-75 mph, has good spin and downward break. The changeup has proper fade and sink to arm side, was clocked at 73. A three pitch pitcher with times to the plate of 1.47. Offensively, hits from the right side, the stance is wide and sits in a small crouch. The path is level across the chest. The tee exit velocity was 87, with some life in his hands, ran a 4.78 from home to first. Defensively, shows good hands, with an above average arm across the diamond from the hot corner. Projects for me off the mound, really competes and wins and has logged a good amount of innings so far this year. Velocity on fastball was a tick or two higher in spring time, serious follow.
