Scouting Report:
Socolovich's fastball sits between 88-92 mph. He uses his fastball
predominantly. Also occasionally mixes in a 86-87 mph slider and a
low-to-mid 80s changeup. Socolovich had to
have a TJ surgery early in the summer of 2005, missing the entire season.
Took time to recover from surgery through 2006.
Needs to sustain his fastball better.
Good bullpen potential, still very raw. Demonstrates success against
weaker hitters, but seriously struggled even at the Intermediate A-ball
level when given a shot.
