simple, easy delivery; back elbow gets a bit high to fast arm circle; hips and shoulders rotate in unison as he stays closed a long time; landing spot and 3/4 arm slot are consistent; front side can get stiff when landing. |

short, tight breaker; good tilt; commanded to glove side and arm-side really well; worked all 4 quadrants and threw for strike in any count; also threw as a chase pitch. |
Nick Goody was the closer for LSU as a junior in 2012 and was selected by the New York Yankees in the sixth round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft. In my viewing, he flashed a solid average FB/SL combo that was getting swings and misses on. He had 27 K's in 15.1 IP earlier this year in Tampa but has scuffled a bit in Trenton. I still see 7th inning upside with a floor of a long reliever.
