High energy, 6-foot-3 righthander with effort and funk to his delivery. Minacci is a pedal to the metal mentality who leaves it all on the field. He earned the save (9th of the season) in game two of the series with one inning of hitless, scoreless relief. His heater lived in the 96-97 mph range. It’s a bit straight, but like Keener, Minacci has a separator of a breaking ball. It’s a power pitch at 86-89 with late, turbo action. Call it a 60/65-grade bat misser. He has a strictly reliever profile which will likely keep him out of the top three rounds, but the fourth to sixth is the most likely landing spot.

The 6-foot-2, 175 pound right handed pitcher has a lean, projectable frame. Has a very up tempo delivery, with high front side and quick arm with some deception. Fastball ranged from 84-86 touch 88 mph with some arm side life. Also showed a hard slider at 71-73 that has the ability to be an out pitch.
