Dan
Klepchick

4/26/16 Sturdy 6-foot, 180-pounder whose velo has jumped a couple ticks since last summer. FB sat 83-85 in the first inning and he still had 84 in the tank when he wanted it in the eighth inning. Was elevating the pitch more than usual in the first, but returned to his typical mixing in and out with some armside action the following frame. Primary off-speed pitch was a mid-70s slider with short break. Didn't much feature a straight change-up on which he appeared to slow his body somewhat. Deliberate, compact delivery. Strike-thrower (68% Ks this game) with just six walks in 36 innings so far this spring.

7/26/15 Simple, repeatable delivery. Out of an over-the-top slot, FB sat 80-82 with some downhill plane and armside run. Strike thrower who has a feel for his curveball and change-up with fade as well.

4/3/14 Despite a somewhat deliberate wind-up, Klepchick showed arm speed out front that generated a FB at 78-80. From an over-the-top slot, he also featured a big 12/6 CB at 65-67 and a CH at 73-74 that he threw with very good sell.
