10.28.17 Helton has a projectable, long-limbed pitcher’s frame at 6-foot-5, 180-pounds. The right-hander put together a sharp outing, pounding the zone with three pitches, and making quick work of hitters. Helton not only got ahead early in the count, but the unsigned senior also did a nice job of throwing his offspeed pitches in hitter’s counts. Working from a high slot with a loose, quick arm stroke, Helton has a bright future with more velocity in the tank. Fastball gets on top hitter quick, coming out clean with good tilt, sitting 85 mph for the entire outing. Throws a 12/6 curveball with sharp depth at 69-71 mph. After falling behind to one hitter in a 2-0 count, he went back-to-back changeups at 74-75, getting a swing and miss on both, then punched the hitter out on a curveball to finish. Uncommitted senior with a high ceiling.
