James
Bilcik

Bilcik is an athletic framed 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. Bilcik ran a 8.17 60. Pitching - Sets up middle rubber with mid leg kick. Unique throwing motion with a draw back to a short-armed arm action; consistent through all pitch types. Arm motion and natural hiding of ball through delivery  makes it difficult for hitters to track. His fastball touched 80 MPH (up one mph) with arm side run. Curveball ranged from 63-66 MPH with sharp 12-6 break down in the zone. Change up ranged from 72-73 MPH with downward movement. Deceptive delivery and his sneaky delivery along with solid command will give him opportunities down the road.

Bilcik checks in at 6-foot-0, 172-pounds with a strong athletic frame. Pitching- Righty gets good separation with a good lower body drive down the mound. Features a high ¾ release point with a strong follow through. Has short, loose arm action and is consistent in the strike zone. Fastball range was 76-78 MPH and peaked at 80 MPH with arm side run. Curveball range was 60-61 MPH with 12/6 spin and was consistent in the strike zone. Will benefit from developed strength. Overall a talented 2018 prospect that is still available.
