Escobar has an athletic frame that has some projection left to it. He throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a free arm action and normal effort. His fastball was 78-80 with some late sink to it. He held that velocity when in the slide step and was quick to the plate. Clearly has awareness of the running game and how to help control it. Curveball had 12/6 break with good armspeed, pitch came in at 71-72. Strike thrower, got some swing and misses, was able to strike out 2 in 2 innings with no walks.
