Uncommitted. Sizemore showcased a two pitch combo out of the pen for game on; he attacked with his fastball that sat 84-87 working it on the outer half mostly while trying to work it in the upper part of the zone for swing and misses. His slider sat 74-77 and he showcased an ability this weekend to throw it for strikes on the glove side. Sizemore is probably going to have to be a reliever due to his size at the next level (5-7 140) but his stuff and his ability to throw strikes will allow him to get outs down the road.
