Uncommitted Spotlight - '22 RHP Steve Kovac (Reynolds)


Dan Jurik
Scouting Director - Pacific Northwest

One of the more intriguing uncommitted '22 arms we saw at our events this summer, RHP Steve Kovac (Reynolds)

With his wiry frame and clean arm action, don't be surprised to see a jump from Kovac in 2022. His FB/SL combo plays especially well off of each other with his quality spin rates.

Scouting Report

7/14/20

5-foot-11, 150 pounds with a lean frame and square build to upper half. Works from the first base side of the rubber with consistent, steady paced tempo/rhythm. Stays tall at leg lift while creating significant coil into his back hip. Hands come set high and break at chest height. Shows some cross action with his stride and landing. Mobile athlete. Moves very well through his hips/core and rotates easily into release. Proper sequence in the delivery allows hips to open up while his upper half stays closed. Finishes out front as backside comes around and falls off to the first base side due to the crossaction landing. Arm action gets extended early then shortens up into ¾ release. Noticeable quickness at the end with hand speed out front. Finishes with late intent. Frame and mechanics should allow for him to grow into more velocity with a productive off-season. CB shows potential with tight shape and 2300 rpm. FB shows life out of hand with carry into the zone
