Gregory has a strong athletic frame standing around 6-foot-2 and looks every bit of it. Started at third base and showed some nice athleticism on a bunt play, coming forward and completing a run through with some arm strength on the throw to first. Gregory went on in relief in the fifth. The fastball was pretty easy out of the hand at 86-88 mph in the fifth innings. The velocity settled in the 84-86 range and showed some really heavy arm side run throughout his outing. The breaking ball was a bigger 11/5-10/4 shaped pitch with some slurvy action to it. Threw it for strikes, but overall was his third best pitch. The changeup showed some promise. Had heavy fade and sink to it and was able to throw it to right-handed and left-handed hitters. 73-75 mph was the velo range and the arm slowed down at times, but had nice feel for the strike zone and looks to have finishing ability in plus counts. Radford commit.

Gregory is 6-2 with an athletic frame that has some strength present and some projection left to it. He throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, shorter free quick arm action and higher effort to his delivery. Shoulders are uphill and closed, lands square with a fall off finish and recoil. Fastball was 84-86, touching 87, with some downward plane and a bit of late hard run to armside. Curveball had good armspeed and was 71-75 with late hard 10/4 break to it.

Projectable athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 190-pounds. Regular effort in the delivery and works with some pace. Strong balance point gathered over the rubber, flexion in back knee, and lands on line. Short quick arm action throwing from a three-quarter arm slot. Is efficient around the zone and worked a very quick fifth inning with a limited number of pitches. Gregory sat 84-85 mph and touched 86 once with the fastball. Appears to have more in the tank. The fastball showed some nice arm side run to the glove side. Fastball spin rate stayed 2400+ and got up to 2561. Breaking ball had solid depth and 11/5 shape at 70-73 mph and 2300+ spin rate.
