Fontaine is uncommitted and is 6-3 with a lankier athletic frame that has some projection left to it. Smooth, easy delivery, some drop and drive before, body works to target before an open landing and an athletic finish. Shoulders are uphill and slightly closed creating some deception. Long loose arm action from a low three-quarters arm slot, easier effort to his delivery. Fastball was 86-87 with late armside run to it, was around the zone at all times with the pitch. Curveball had good armspeed and sharp 11/5 to downer break to it. Pitch was 69-72 with 2200-2350 rpm on it, showed ability to throw for strikes or out of the zone as a chase pitch. Changeup was 76-78 with good armspeed and some hard late fade to it, also showed feel and ability to throw for strikes. Confident thrower of all three pitches and showed control of his whole arsenal.
