WILL CRAIN / RHP / OF / STEWART COUNTY, TN / 2019
Max FB: 88, FB: 84-88, Avg FB: 85.48, CB: 72-76
6-foot-1, 185-pound, RHP showed a dynamic FB, allowing him to generate a 35 % swing and miss rate on it (6 of 19). Tall, athletic frame w/ high-waist, some present lower half strength. Projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential. Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ to ¾ release from the third base side of the rubber. Super quick arm w/ high effort throw. Repeated his arm slot, kept his arm on time consistently. Athleticism allows him ability to maintain delivery. Super uncomfortable at bat, lot of limbs coming at you with deception. FB flashed explosive life, occasional ride through the zone, occasional sink w/ short run, occasional heavy cut. Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation. More control than command at this stage, threw strikes w/ the FB (27 of 42). Flashes ability to pitch w/ intent on the FB, having an idea of how to pitch to both corners. Around the zone w/ the CB.
