Scouting Report
2.16.19 - 5-foot-11, 182-pounder sat 81-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a wrap in the back and a quick arm. Showcased a feel for the zone with arm-side run to his fastball. Curveball showed 1/7 rotation with average depth at 69-72. Changeup sat 75-77 at fastball arm speed with arm-side run from a slightly different arm slot. Athletic frame has room to continue adding strength. Additional velocity spikes are likely.
7.10.18 - 5-foot-11, 170-pound lefty sat 80-82 with both a four-seam and two-seam fastball. Repeats delivery with balance throughout and showed command of a three pitch mix. Curveball sat 67-68 with 1/7 rotation and occasional two-plane break. Slider is flat through the zone at 74-76. Additional velocity is likely as Gustofson adds strength to his athletic frame. Definite follow in this class.
