Mike
Gutierrez

9/15/18 - Possesses a nice frame at 6'2" that is long, lean, and wiry. He throws from a low three-quarter arm slot, features fair angles, travels down the mound well, and is not too linear to the plate. His delivery is controlled, balanced and repeatable with some athleticism to it. He demonstrated an okay use of his hips, but could use his lower body a little more effectively by loading more into his back leg. He presents a loose arm action with a smooth, medium arm circle that hid the baseball a little and is very repeatable. He threw across his body with decent extension and a decent follow through. He presented a three-pitch mix: fastball, curveball and changeup. He kept his fastball down in the zone fairly consistently as it flashed fair run and decent sink. His curveball shows as his best present pitch, featuring tight spin with decent bite and deception. Shows late break with fair shape and a little bit of sweep. It is currently his number one out and strike out pitch, and he flashed the ability to throw it for a strike as well as spike it in the dirt. He flashed some control as he filled up the zone with strikes pretty consistently.
