Lean, lanky frame at 6-foot, 155 pounds. Hoffberg moves very well on the bump with actions that project for a consistent delivery and quick improvement in his raw stuff. Working exclusively from the stretch, he uses a high leg lift while staying gathered on his back side. Has some bend/flexion on back leg as he separates hands and begins to work down the slope. Slight shoulder tilt on his forward move as glove side gets extended and he begins his arm path. Lands with clean direction towards target while keeping a quiet, still head. Shorter stride allows his arm to consistently be on time and keeps him quick/loose throughout. Long, continuous arm action with a whippy finish out front. Throws everything with late conviction. FB spun at an avg of 2059rpm and peaked at 2182rpm. CB was a consistently sharp offering and should be an out-pitch for him as he continues to develop and add seasoning. Consistently spun at 2231rpm with tight, 11/5 shape to it. Does a solid job of killing the spin on his CH to create late fade/run while maintaining FB arm speed. Has the look of a polished 3-pitch mix and is likely to grow into more velocity soon.
