Scouting Report:
Arm without a lot of mileague.
Projectable frame. Price languished for two years at the back of the Rice bullpen,
but impressed in 2008, rocketing his draft stock up the charts.
Smooth 3/4 delivery, but a lot of seemingly unnecessary movement and long
arm action.
Not a lot of deception. His fastball sits between 92-95 mph with a
nice tail running in on righties. If used in relief, Price's
fastball can reach the high 90s for an inning burst. Two-seamer sits
around 89-92 mph, also has nice inward movement against right handed
batters. Also mixes in a plus 83-87 mph slider, which he relies on
as his out pitch. Changeup has fluctuated from 79 to 85 mph, as it's still a work in progress - he shows it a bit too much.
However, it does have nice separation from his fastball. His command can be erratic at
times when he gets rattled, but for the most part Price has great
command and control.
