Staropoli

2/15/15 Staropoli has added an inch and fifteen pounds to his frame since participating in the PA Top Prospect Games in 2013. In addition to his physical maturation, Staropoli has added close to 10 mph to his fastball. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound righty comes at hitters with a lot of arm and leg action that creates deception from a 3/4 arm slot. Staropoli sat 85-87 with significant run and showed repeated command of his fastball. His complimentary pitches are still a work in progress. The righty lacked command of his 66 mph curveball and his 76 mph changeup. Staropoli displayed decent balance and enough athleticism to believe that both pitches can be harnessed with additional work

6/12/13 Staropoli is one of the young arms from Holy Ghost that will provide them with top line pitching depth over the next two years. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound righty sat 78-80 out of a high 3/4 arm slot and pounded the strike zone consistently. Staropoli also showcased an 11/5 breaking curveball that sat 62-65 that he used to set up the fastball.
