Handy has an ultra projectable 6-foot-5 frame with strength present throughout. Controls the pace of the delivery and has normal effort throughout. The arm is loose and works from a high three-quarter slot. The fastball sat 86-88 throughout his three innings of work and has some late carry through the glove side. It is very heavy and has life through the zone. Showed two breaking balls, but leaned on the bigger curveball most of all. The curveball was 67-69 mph with bigger 12/6 shape. The arm slows a bit, but he showed an above average feel for it landing it for strikes fairly consistently. Only showed a few sliders that had late 10/4 shape at 76-77 mph.

Handy is 6-5 with an athletic frame that has some strength present and some projection left to it. He throws from a three-quarters arm slot, short loose quick arm action and some effort to his delivery. Drop and drive delivery, shoulders are slightly uphill and closed, lands closed with an athletic finish. Fastball was 82-85, touching 86, with armside run. Curveball had good armspeed and was 68-71 with sharp 11/5 break to it, good shape. Change-up was 77-80 with good armspeed and some run. Showed ability to move the fastball all around the zone.
