10/14/12 - Cheesman should be one of the more coveted left-handers in Illinois’ Class of 2013. The 6-foot, 165-pounder throws three pitches for strikes. His arm is quick, coming from a 3/4 angle, and he hides the ball well. His fastball topped at 84 mph with arm-side life. His 72-75 mph changeup has the potential to be a go-to pitch, as he spotted it with confidence with similar arm action down in the zone. Cheesman also threw a 70-71 mph curveball for strikes. All three pitches come out of the same window, thrown with similar hand speed.
6/14/12 Cheesman is a lanky 6-foot, 170-pound two-way player who showed best on the bump, displaying a 78 mph fastball with arm-side life. Cheesman also threw a 71-72 mph breaking ball that had slurve-like action. Additionally, Cheesman displayed a 63-66 mph changeup that he located well down in the zone.
Cheesman is one of the more intriguing left-handed prospects in the Class of 2013. The lanky 6-foot, 165-pounder commanded the strike zone with four pitches, all with movement. His 74-76 mph changeup has the potential to be a legitimate out-pitch, as it demonstrated late arm side sink with deception. Cheesman’s slider, which was in the 69-70 mph range, also impressed, as it had a sweeping two-plane break. Cheesman’s fastball topped at 79 mph, but with his projectable frame and arm speed, he should see a velocity spike in the coming years. Cheesman also showed feel for a curveball in the 65-67 mph range.
