6-foot, 172-pound right-handed pitcher, portional build, athletic frame. Arm works short, showing low on the back-side, works quickly and aggressively to get out front to a ¾ slot. Drop and drive delivery, deliberate actions, works on-line, lands square, finishes in an athletic position. Relied mainly on his fastball, pounded the strike zone with, got numerous swing and misses, sat 82-84, touched 85 (2250-2350rpm), some late life.

Deep South Invite: Faulk is an athletic 6-foot right-hander who also shows some ability as a position player. He shows solid hand-speed and intent coming down the mound. Faulk's arm works clean and projects to throw harder with strength because of the arm stroke and intent. From a delivery standpoint I like his ability to become unhinged and throw hard, but he often times he runs away from his arm on release and looses extension out front. This will limit his ability to spin the baseball and repeat his delivery. Faulk ran his fastball up to 82 MPH and sat in the (78-80) range. Faulk's delivery and intent line up with a pitcher that uses a slider and though he did not use a slider in the live portion, I see no reason that he will not incorporate and be effective with one based on his hand-speed and delivery.
