Spina has a strong, physical build at 6-foot-3 200-pounds. Fastball topped at 83 mph, sat mostly 81-83. Showcased a hard, straight changeup at 78-79 mph. Needs to take more velocity off changeup. Flashed a slider that backed up on him. Methodical delivery with steady tempo to start. Mechanics are sound and work fluidly. High-3/4 arm slot with a long, loose arm. Very little effort in delivery and finish. Ball comes out easy. Tall and controlled balance point. Lands square and creates some extension over front landing leg. On some pitches he lands slightly closed causing him to spin off on the finish toward the first base side of the mound. Offensively- starts with a slightly opened stance with hands just above shoulder. Uses a big leg kick to initiate weight transfer and load. Hand load is small. Creates some lift on the finish, weight is mostly on back leg. Exit Velocity was 88 mph. Ran a 6.95 60 yard dash. Interesting prospect to watch
