Goodling

2/23/13 Goodling is a 5-foot-10, 180-pound VCU recruit who signed in November of 2012. Goodling didn't waste any time showing what made him a coveted prospect in this class. Throwing out of a high 3/4 arm slot, he pounded the strike zone during one of the better bullpen sessions of the day. Goodling's fastball sat 86-87 with late life and it was evident that there is more in the tank if needed. He commanded an 11/5 breaking curveball that has tight rotation at 75 mph. Equally as impressive was Goodling's changeup that he throws at fastball arm speed. The pitch sits 75-76 with good arm side run. It is easy to see how Goodling has been named his high school team's MVP the past two years. The future VCU Ram looks primed for a third consecutive MVP caliber season.
