Wright is an athletic 6-foot-1, 185 pound right handed pitching prospect. He worked primarily out of the stretch and created good direction with home plate. At the top, he separates well and gets down the mound well. The arm works out of a quick, higher ¾ slot and produces a fastball with some late sink. The breaking ball is good. The spin is tight with hard downward tilt. Wright also showed a good changeup. The action is late and the arm speed is consistent.
