Fresh off a strong showing at last week's Titans Scout Day, Halcovitch put together another quality bullpen at Friday's Pitcher-Only session. An imposing figure coming down the mound at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, Halcovitch’s fastball worked up to 88.5mph for strikes and was complimented by a sharp slider that was up to 79mph (max spin rate of 2306rpm). The arsenal is rounded out with a changeup (max 17in. HM) and a curveball with vertical look. Rhythmic delivery with a shorter arm-action that really gets on hitters. With present velocity and near-optimal spin/movement profiles, expect a strong summer from Nick with sustained growth moving forward.
