Body: 6-foot-4, 228-pounds. There’s noticeable muscle structure now. The frame is strong, durable, and still developing. Long limbs and feet. High waist.
Delivery: Simple, starts upright and tall with an upward leg lift and drive. Easy knee lift with good hand/feet rhythm. Clean through the backside maintaining balance and control down the mound. Lands inline with the target in an athletic and stable position before the arm pulls through the rest of the body maintaining consistent release point with all three pitches. High 3/4 slot.
FB: Max: 91, 89-91. Pitched comfortably in the 89-90 mph range, topping out at 91 on several occasions. His average FB velocity of 91 mph is good for second amongst all pitchers in attendance. Average spin rate on the fastball of 2279, ranking fifth. Average inverted break of 20.8, an indicator on ability to get angle on the fastball and pitch down in the zone, was fourth best in the group. Flashed sinking action on two-seamer.
CB: Potentially Muniz’s best pitch (67-69 mph), is a sharp and late breaking ball that he throws with feel and ability to locate in strikeout situations (see video above). Works very well off the fastball as it comes from the same tunnel before falling off table late. Maintains same arm speed as fastball. Pitch shows 11/5 shape with a top spin rate of 2305 rpm with an average of 2245 rpm.
CHG: Threw only one in-game (74 mph) but a few during warmups and like the rest of his arsenal, it comes out easy and he shows some feel for it. Almost half the spin of his fastball resulting in some late diving action at the plate. Because of the speed differential with the fastball and Muniz’s consistent and repeatable delivery, the pitch has the potential to develop into a quality third pitch in his arsenal.
