The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Uncommitted. 6-foot-2, 185 pounds. This is one of the more interesting ‘24 arms on the market and he was nothing short of dominant at the PBR Classic. Dreher has a larger frame that can easily hold 15-20 more lbs and will only increase explosiveness in his already well sequenced delivery. He creates good rhythm throughout and has a very good understanding for how to stretch hip/shoulder separation for optimal torque. The advanced hip hinge allows him to stack the backside in stride and create ideal connection between his largest muscles and arm action. Speaking of the arm action, it checks every box and is repeated at a very high level for his age. The cleanliness of it should lead to consistent pitch life on all pitches and long term health on the mound. When his coil matches the pace of his stride, the FB creates some nice ride+run and very well arm side. Better extension (chest over front knee near release) will help him create a more true life to the glove side. Dreher has nice feel for his SLV that can vary in shape at times but he consistently lands it for strikes. He did flash a CH as well. There’s considerable funk and deception to Dreher’s operation, and this is an intriguing prospect who is unlikely to be on the market much longer.

Dreher possesses a strong and durable build at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds. On the mound, sets up with his feet together in the middle of the rubber. Slower, more gradual delivery, where he is able to gather himself at his balance point. Hands move in sync with his lower half. High and aggressive frontside, clears the shoulder. Longer arm action while locking the elbow early. FB lived in the 85-87 MPH range. CB with bigger up-down action at 72-73 MPH. Also showed a SL with more lateral tilt at 76-77 MPH. Mixed in a CH at 75-76 MPH.
3/06/22
Dreher is strong and athletic at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds. Starts his windup straightforward, directly in the middle of the rubber. Lot of movement in his delivery but is able to maintain his rhythm/tempo. Big, aggressive leg kick with an outward motion as well. Clears the frontside, opens up his hips. Gets over a strong brace leg. FB showed life right out of the hand at 85-86 MPH. Slider had big sweeping action at 77-79 MPH. CH with run/sink at times at 77-78 MPH.
10/10/21
Dreher has a strong and durable build at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds. On the mound, threw exclusively from the stretch. Sets up on the first base side of the rubber, is closed with his back leg preset. High leg kick, hands move in sync with the lower half. Aggressive down the slope with some uphill shoulder tilt. Fastball had some significant run to the arm side, sat 80-82 MPH and touched 83 MPH. Slider was 67-70 MPH with plus spin rates, strikeout pitch when in the zone.
6/20/21
Wiry and athletic frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. On the mound, throws exclusively from the stretch. Starts with his feet closed and weight preset. Both halves work in sync. Works deep into his lower half and generates power from there. Aggressive leg kick. Uphill shoulder tilt, stride direction stayed in line. Long, loose, clean arm action. Almost comes from a true 3/4 slot. FB gets on you and is well located at 84-85 MPH. SL is a plus pitch with tight spin and wipeout action at times at 68-70 MPH. CB is bigger with more of 11/6 shape at 68-70 MPH.
3/20/21
Dreher has a wiry and athletic build at 6-foot, 175-pounds. Funky setup with his back leg preset and hands down by his knees. Quick hand movement to his head, along with a high tempo lower half delivery. Maintains rhythm and tempo. Creates some rotational torque in his upper half. High leg kick. Gets well into his backside, creates power off his back leg. Closed at foot strike. Slight downhill shoulder tilt. Arm works quick with a shorter arm swing. Low 3/4 arm slot, really slings it. FB gets on you at 80-81 MPH, touching 82 MPH. CB is bigger with 11/6 shape at 73-74. A SL at 75-76 MPH has late horizontal bite, wipeout at times. CH had both sink and run at 76-78 MPH.
