Min

10/20/18 - Los Angels Open - Five-foot-9, 160-pounds, Medium frame with strength throughout, particularly in the lower half. Works from 3/4 slot down the mound with quickness to both the arm and the delivery and not much effort. Tends to fall off to the first base side of the mound after release. Fastball shows a tick of run back to the arm side with effective command while working to both sides of the plate. Curveball is a gradual break with 11/5 shape. Min shows command of the pitch that starts at the knees before falling off the table. Min also showed a knuckle-change that had the action of a splitter. It was effective pitch that he showed command of and drew some raised eyebrows from our scouts.

10/20/18 - Los Angeles Open - Five-foot-9, 160-pounds, medium frame with thickness and strength throughout. Body is well put together and projects to add more physical strength. At the plate Min shows a short-to-the-ball, fast bath path that resulted in line drives to all fields favoring left-center field. Shows very good bat speed from his fast hands with enough strength to maintain his barrel on a consistent plane without sacrificing power for it. Shows quickness to his overall defensive game. Moves well laterally when blocking and and hops to his feet in ready-to-throw position with proper footwork. Presents a large target with his broad chest spacing of his feet. Arm was mostly accurate - one throw sailed - and popped consistently in the 1.97-2.04 range. On the mound Min shows feel for three pitches from a three-quarter arm slot. His fastball shows some late downer movement which he starts down. Curveball is a gradual breaker with 11/5 break. Min showed excellent command of this pitch during his outing. He shows feel for what he called a knuckleball but moved like a split-change. It was an intriguing pitch given his present command and the movement of the pitch.
