Snider

10/21/2016
A 6-foot, 215-pound frame. On the mound, a smooth delivery with blow average effort. Throws from a 3/4 slot with loose arm action. Fastball flashes arm-side run, ranges 82-86 mph, and occasionally touches an 86. Slider is well commanded with shard 11/5 action and shape, 71-73 mph. Occasionally shows a changeup with slight sink at 70-71 mph. Offensively, a right-handed hitter, middle-pull approach, some bat speed.  A wide quiet set-up, quick double toe-tap load, flat path through contact. Defensively, soft hands, accurate arm.  Held the Timberwolf offence down in the first game and recorded a hit.

A 6-foot, 215-pound  frame with some strength. A slow to fast, athletic delivery with some rhythm.  Arm shoots straight back on the break before bouncing back through with arm speed through multiple slots, just above side to high-3/4. Fastball sat 80-83 mph, previously up to 85 mph, late sink. Slider is commanded  from multiple slots with 10/4 or 11/5 shape, 69-72 mph. Snider was in complete command of his inning, allowing two infield hits, two ground ball outs, and a punch out. Offensively, right-handed hitter, pull approach, lots of barrels, shows pull-pop, one of the best rounds of BP on the day. Wide, athletic stance, reverse toe-tap, flat path through contact, creates lift and back spin, strong hands, 85 mph exit velo. Runs an 8.13 60. Defensively, soft hands, 3/4  slot, 76 mph to first base. In-game, Snider went 0/2 with a walk.
