6-foot-3, 190-pounds, high-waisted and projectable frame with long levers. Essien is an upside follow moving forward. He threw the event’s second-hardest fastball topping at 90 mph (sat 87-89) with over 18” of IVB on average through the zone. The righty would then turn to a 71-73 mph curveball that showed hard 11/5 action. Essien would round out his mix with a 76-79 mph changeup with occasional arm-side fade.
