Build: Small frame; skinny hips and small torso; frame is maxed.
Mechanics: Short arm and a stab; crossfire delivery; falls off to first base side; above-average arm speed; heavy exertion on delivery; delivery has multiple checkpoints in mechanics that need to be in sync; hinders overall command, especially on the CH. |

Average command; hard armside run with boring action; workable offering that was missing barrels; average velo but will be efficient due to movement in multiple directions. |

Average command; sweeping offering with mild bite; thrown primarily against RHH; able to wrap around corners of the plate; works well off FB because of the different look. |

Fringe Command; replicates arm speed; mild feel for pitch; mild fade; thrown primarily against LHH; hard to command offering due to falling off; drifts into zone too much; don't envision improvement due to mechanics. |

Mayberry has a three pitch arsenal that presently plays at a level efficient enough for the majors. Slight gains in consistency with the mechanics will make him a more feasible asset moving forward, but the stuff is maxed and he could see time in the majors at some point within the next calendar year.
Round Drafted: 21st Round, 2014
Why: Senior Sign, potential quick-moving relief help with three respectable offerings.
