6-foot-1, 155-pound lanky frame. Clocked a 60 time of 7.21 at the event. Herbstman was one of the top performers on the mound during the event. High ceiling on the bump with loose, wiry limbs. Begins in a balanced quiet stance with a small load, then uses a short stride before his swing. Has uphill swing plane and has high finish. Line drive approach. the left-handed hitters best exit velocity was 81 mph. In the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 84 mph; showed consistent hands, smooth feet and a fluid exchange. Used a high ¾ slot and a loose arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the bag. Advanced on the mound, showing quick arm speed he used a ¾ arm angle and a loose arm action. Shows easy effort in his delivery. Even shoulders and athletic balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Changeup (72-73 mph).Produced a fastball that came in at 81-83 mph and topped out at 84 mph; showed running action and low in the zone command. Has sharp, downer action on his 1/7 curveball at 63-67. Really impressed. High riser in the rankings.
