Sophomore. Built physically at 6-foot-2, 220-pounds, Salcedo is another arm for the Hawks that has seen a substantial increase in velocity over the past year. His fastball velocity increased roughly five mph since our last look, topping out at 85.7 mph on Monday with heavy sink at times. He showed a knack for spinning the breaking ball; ripping off a sharp 11/5 curveball at 73-75 mph (T2562 RPM) and late breaking 10/4 slider at 73-76 mph (T2443 RPM).
