2009 Prospect Preview
Q&A with Brock Huntzinger |
Scouting Report:
Big righty with an easy over-the-top motion. His delivery starts off
slow but the ball comes out of his hand smoothly, wasting little
motion. Very polished and advanced for his age. Fastball sits
around 89 mph, tops out at 92 mph, and has some late movement on it.
While his velocity is essentially low-90s, it's deceptively fast because of
his easy delivery. His fastball topped out at 95 mph in high
school, but has lost a little life due to minor tweaking of his mechanics.
The organization expects that he might get back up to 95 mph in the next
couple of years. Also mixes in a tight slider that sits between
79-83 mph. His slider is a wipeout pitch - when it's up in the zone, it
flattens out and almost acts as a slurve. When he keeps it down,
less-advanced hitters will look overmatched. However, he
struggles with command on his slider.
His changeup, a pitch he hardly
even possessed before coming into the organization, is improving
steadily and now sits between 77-79 mph. Pounds the zone with
very good control. Needs to work on pitching out
of the stretch and maintaining velocity deep into games, or he may project
more as a reliever.
Hard worker, loves the game. Probably can pack some muscle to his
frame. |
