Janczak is a high wasted, long and projectable 6-foot-2, 180 pound prospect. Janczak works the ball downhill with a long, loose and whippy arm from a high three-quarter slot. His fastball topped at 84 mph with notable spin rate (2200+) showing feel for the zone and ride and carry to the pitch. He pairs the fastball with an 11/5 breaking ball with notable depth at the plate making it a potential out pitch weapon for both handed hitters. The change up has late sink at the plate giving him three offerings to get hitters out. Janczak is an upside prospect in the state.
