Checking in at 6-foot, 175 pounds, this lefty works from a high ¾ slot with his fastball and breaking ball. He gets deception from working with these two pitches out of the same slot. LeMaster is also able to repeat his delivery effectively and his arm works well. It looks like if he’s able to use his backside more he’d be able to gain power, too. LeMaster is a finesse lefty with shape to his breaking ball, but will slow his arm due to starting the pitch early and behind him and he’s not always able always finish it. With added strength, LeMaster projects as a tough-look for lefty bats, with his combination of fastball and breaking ball, but he’ll need to develop more of a third pitch to be an effective starter at the next level.
