Trevor
Kniffin

Trevor stands in at a broad shouldered 5-foot-11, 300 pounds. Pitching- On the mound Trevor repeats his delivery with ease. Using a spread setup and short drop step, Trevor works up to a compact balance point with a slight curl away from the plate. Lands under control and closed. Would like to see him be more aggressive with lower half and core rotation. Gets up and over front side well with a slight recoil of the arm caused by standing up with the body. Uses a short arm action from a 3/4 slot. FB sat in the low to mid 70's on a cool and blustery afternoon (topping 74 MPH). CB showed above average spin at 59-61 MPH. Possessed 2-8 action with some late bite. Out pitch for him. Had a feel for the change with some late fade at 65-68 MPH. Ideal LHP for the next level that can help lengthen a staff and get outs.

Kniffin stands 5-foot-11, 298-pounds. On the mound he uses a belt knee lift, high hand separation; clean, smooth arm action, throws from a high-3/4 slot with a fastball sitting 73-76 mph arm side run. Changeup shows upside with fastball hand speed at 67 mph, late downward action. Curveball shows a late hump at 65-68 mph, 1/7 shape above average spin and control. He needs to get more extension out in front if his body, over his stride knee. An emphasis on increased arm speed will take his game to another level.
