Ciliberti has an athletic frame with strength already present and some projection left. He throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, long free arm action, some effort to his delivery. His fastball was 82-84 and was mostly up in the zone, it had some late life to it and some downward angle. Curveball had good armspeed and downer 12/6 break at 66-70, getting a few swing and misses. Showed one change-up at 74 with good armspeed and fade but threw it from the stretch when the rest of the at-bat was in the wind-up. Sturdy frame and the makings of a good three-pitch mix, curveball is good now and change-up is developing, interesting arm to keep an eye on.

Projectable 6-foot-1, 215-pound frame. Ciliberti has a low effort repeatable delivery. Shorter arm circle and moves into an over the top arm slot working downhill. The fastball was 81-84 and touched 85 a few times. Showed a breaking ball at 68-72 mph that had two different looks. Had a bigger 12/6 breaking ball that he had no issues getting over for strikes and then was able to put hitters away with a tighter short action breaking ball that got swings and misses down in the zone. The fastball was easy out of the hand and appears to have more velo there. If he can continue to mix those two breaking balls into his repertoire and the velocity keeps ticking up he has the potential to be a starter at the next level.
