Comments
4.6.15 +Uncommitted 2015 RHP Ljay Newsome sat 90-92 in the first inning, 89-91 in the second and sat 87-90 in his final four innings of work in his start. The 6-foot and solid built Newsome pitched from a high ¾ angle with sound arm action and quick arm speed. He threw with regular effort in a controlled delivery with rhythm. He was able to cut the fastball as well as get some run and sink on the pitch. His breaking ball had a 10/4 action with gradual movement and potential to be better. Did not show a changeup. Needs to continue to develop his off speed.
