Roop announced his presence in a big way at the Deep South. The medium framed right-hander stepped onto the mound at 6-foot, 175-pounds and showed off an athletic, polished side-step delivery. Roop has a full arm swing with above average handspeed and creates good angle down in the zone to his fastball that is already up to 88 mph. His curveball has good shape and spin at 72-74 and offers the kind of projection you are looking for in a future swing and miss pitch. As Roop get stronger and his velocity increases look for jumps in his breaking ball also. Roop stood apart due to his athletic delivery and ease of operation on the mound. Watch out for this young arm going forward.
