6-foot, 190-pound left-handed pitcher showcased an obvious standout bullpen. Ritchie utilized an easy delivery and a loose, whippy arm to deliver 84-86 mph fastballs with some natural cut from a high 3/4 arm-slot. Used noticeably good tunneling, as all of his pitches came out of the same release window with similar arm-speeds. Commanded sharp 73-75 mph curveballs that featured 1/7 tilt. His 77-79 mph changeups were thrown with impressive sell and showed late drop making it a tough pitch to pick up at the plate.
6-foot, 185-pound lefty impressed at a previous PBR event in September. His fastball was down a few ticks on this date sitting 79-82 out of a 3/4 arm slot. Easy, repeatable delivery stays directional while his fastball shows some cut. Ritchie's curveball at 67-70 has tight slider shape with a chance to be an above average pitch. He also commanded his changeup at fastball arm speed with regularity at 71-73.
First look at this 6-foot, 185-pound lefty was a good one. Athletic, well proportioned frame with time for additional strength. Sat 83-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot with an easy, repeatable delivery that stays directional. Fastball has natural cut and curveball with 1/7 shape at 70-72 has a chance to be an out pitch at the next level. Changeup is a bit stiff at 74-78 but is commanded well with little current movement. Definite spring/summer follow in this class.
