Definite two way potential. Showed some pop at the plate with a RBI double to deep right center. On the mound Trentadue was 82-84 and touched 85 mph with a fastball that worked to both sides of the plate. I could easily see the fastball bumping up a few miles per hour on a better day. Had solid feel for a 67-69 mph breaking ball with 1/7 shape. Is going to be an important arm for Godwin this year. Is efficient around the zone and has good enough stuff to consistently get deep into games.

Trentadue was the first pitcher of the day facing Prince George for 2 innings of work. He showed a small arm circle and clean arm action throwing from a high three-quarter arm slot. Threw three pitches with similar arm speed and had feel for all three. The fastball sat between 80-82 mph, showed some arm side run, and was able to keep it down in the zone. Showed feel for the curveball, throwing it consistently for strikes and it sat between 65-67 mph. The changeup played well off of the fastball with similar armspeed sitting at 70-72 mph.
