Hoffman can throw strikes with four pitches and he has two offspeed pitches that flashed plus. While his command is only average, he has a feel for pitching, and is capable of adding and subtracting and pitching backwards. His curve, which featured plus movement in my viewing, has reportedly been thrown 5-6 mph harder in previous outings as well. The slider is a relatively new pitch but it was his primary offspeed weapon, and he used to both steal strikes against lefties and draw swings and misses against righties. He's an easy thrower with clean mechanics and no red flags in his delivery. He tired in the sixth inning and may need time to build stamina; otherwise, he appears ready for big league work where he should be ready to slot into the middle of a rotation.
