Wagner recruit. Velez has a strong, broad shouldered build at 6-foot-1 200-pounds. Fastball topped at 90 MPH and sat mostly 86-90 from a true-3/4 slot with a short, quick arm. Fastball jumped out of hand – showed a significant velocity jump since last March, and added nearly 20 pounds to frame. Breaking ball had 11/5 break at 73-76 and a changeup with some armside run at 77-80. Landing foot lands slightly closed, will fall off to first base side of rubber. Downhill angled shoulders as he descends down the mound. Athletic frame and body type, still more in the tank.
Velez is strong and athletic with broad shoulders. Fastball topped at 86 mph, sat mostly 83-85. Curveball had sharp 11/5 depth at 71-73 with tight spin and fastball handspeed. Changeup had armside sink at 76-78 mph with near fastball arm action. High-3/4 arm slot with a short quick arm action. Quick delivery into a controlled, athletic balance point. Uses strong lower half to drive down the mound. Creates great extension over front lead leg. Controlled, athletic finish.
