Tanner Folds: Uncommitted Spotlight

Folds is a 6-foot, 175-pound 2-way player who shows promise on the mound. He has an athletic pitchers frame and pitches from the stretch only, aggressively using a high overhand slot. Folds creates good angle to the plate with his fast ball (78-80). His changeup (68-70) has deception and late sink when down. The curveball flashes good 12-6 type action when he gets out front and on top of it. At the plate, Folds sets up with a balanced straight away stance. And shows strength in a mostly pull approach. He projects to have power in the future and showed a present exit velo of 79 mph. Overall Folds is a good looking young left handed pitcher who has the makings of future stuff and deception. Will be a close follow on the mound going forward.
