At 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, James attacks hitters from a high ¾ slot. The athletic lefty will pitch to both sides of the plate with his mid-80s fastball flashes cut action on occasion. He maintains hand-speed and slot on his changeup and it is a swing-and-miss pitch for him. James’ curveball is used as a get-me-over type to steal early strikes. He also has the ability to go in and away glove side with his fastball and lengthen the plate with his above-average change. James has all the equipment to be a quality starter at the next level, and though he does not have above-average size, he still offers some projection in his athleticism. He knows how to pitch.
