Fastball: | Vineyard's fastball sat in the 88-91 mph range. |
Fastball movement: | Vineyard has average life to his fastball. |
Slider: | Right now, Vineyard's slider is average, but it's already an out pitch. |
Changeup: | Vineyard's change is below-average now, but projects to be an average offering. |
Control: | He's got below-average command currently, but with a good delivery, projects to have average or above-average command in the future. |
Poise: | He's got good athletic actions on the mound and excellent aggressiveness in attacking hitters. |
Physical Description: | The decently sized southpaw has a Jamie Walker-type body. |
Medical Update: | Healthy. |
Strengths: | He has the chance to have a three-pitch mix. He's got a good delivery and is athletic on the mound. |
Weaknesses: | He needs more movement on his fastball because there's not a lot of projection to it. |
Summary: | This is turning out to be a pretty good draft for high school lefties and Vineyard adds to the depth at the position. He has the chance to have a good three-pitch mix with a slider that is an out pitch right now. While there's not a ton of projection to make, he should improve on things like command and fastball movement. He might be a tick behind the top prep southpaws on draft day, but he won't fall too far. |
