1.21.19 Stands 6-foot-7, 210-pounds with a super projectable frame. He has good feel for repeatable mechanics, which is atypical with athletes his size, and he has the strength to control his frame throughout the delivery. Working from a high slot with a long arm swing, he creates tilt on his fastball at 82-84 mph. Showed good feel for offspeed for strikes with a 70-72 mph curveball that had varied shapes and a 75-76 mph changeup that showed vertical depth in it’s fade.
06.26.18 Projectable high-waisted 6-foot-7, 210-pound frame. Hornfischer is an intimidating presence on the mound. He has a long loose arm stroke from an over-the-top arm slot which provides downward tilt, especially when he works down in the zone. He has smooth rhythm and relative ease in his delivery, good direction and lands square with an athletic finish. His fastball was 80 mph, he has good feel for his big 11/5 shaped breaking ball at 70-71 mph, and his changeup was 72-75 with fastball-like arm speed. Hornfischer was around the zone with his three pitch mix, and has the fluidity and arm action that could soon lead into a spike up in velocity.
