Pitch Type Future Grade Sitting Velocity Peak Velocity Report
Fastball 50 89-91 93 Sat 89-90 in early going with average command; heavy and boring bitch with armside run evident. Late life on fastball as game moved on. Showed better command of pitch as game moved on as well. Average command of pitch overall. Capable of slowing pitch down to get better movement and wiggle in the zone.
Curveball 55 75-76 77 Sharp 12-to-6 break. Above-average command and great feel for pitch. Late bite; swing and miss potential and chance to be above-average pitch.
Changeup 50 80-82 83 Good command; strong fade with arm speed consistently similar to that of fastball. Creating better velocity separation from fastball than in past; has the potential to be an average pitch.
Slider 45 83-84 85 Handful of sliders thrown in game; below-average command of pitch. Below-average depth, not much tilt on the pitch.
Overall

Raudes, a 19-year-old from Nicaragua, shows an advanced feel with his curveball and has average command of a fastball that currently sits 89-91 mph. Listed at just 160 pounds, one would expect Raudes to fill out a bit and gain some strength on the fastball. He has a clean, repeatable delivery, and has the potential to be a back-end of the rotation option.
