The 5-foot-10, 150-pound lefty has an easy tempo on the mound, clean arm circle and gets extended on each pitch. Throws from ¾ slot, stays on top of the ball, and gets good finish through his back side. Fastball worked at 75-77 mph, spun a downer curveball at 63-67, and pulled the changeup down at 67-68.
7.23.18 Richardson has a lean, high-waisted frame at 5-foot-9, 140-pounds. The left-hander repeats a drop-and-drive delivery with precision and low effort, working from a high-¾ slot with a medium arm swing. His fastball flashes tilt at 72-76 mph. Can spin his curveball for a strike early and often with 1/7 shape at 63-65 mph, and shows good feel for a 67 mph changeup with depth. Pounded the zone in his one inning of work and did a nice job of keeping hitters off balance.
