He stands in a strong 6-foot-1, 196-pound frame with some projection still to come. On the mound, Heyer worked with pace, displaying a clean, over-the-top arm path, working fastballs up to 85.8 mph, but sitting mostly 82-85 mph. He threw two separate breaking balls in this outing; a curveball in the upper-60s with an average of -18.4 inches of horizontal movement and a slider at 68-74 mph with an average of -14 inches of horizontal movement. Heyer also threw a splitter with minimal spin, and a cutter at 79-82 mph. Uncommitted name-to-know.
