Facing a veteran lineup from North Paulding, Contreras showed impressive poise and maturity on the mound with stuff to match. Uber-projectable, high-waisted 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame, the uncommitted sophomore works downhill with good extension and explosive arm speed from a near over-the-top arm slot. Fastball is heavy at 85-88 with good arm-side run and ability to land to both sides of the plate. Advanced feel for a mid-70s curveball with 11-5 shape and good depth. The ability to land for both strikes and burying it for whiffs was present. Flashed a high-70s changeup as well with good fade and spin-killing traits (1100 RPM). The upside really flashes with Contreras, who could be just starting to unlock his potential.
