6-foot-2, 180-pound lean long frame. Fluid at the plate, Arroyo was ranked 3rd with an exit velocity of 96 mph. (66.83 mph bat speed average). (20.84 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced athletic stance with a tight compact load, then used a controlled toe tap stride. Bat speed was above average, displayed a level loose swing plane and high finish. Found multiple barrels with a lot of loud contact. Line drive approach. Smooth while in the infield, recorded position velocities up to 82 mph; had sure consistent hands, a natural clean exchange, and choppy rhythmic footwork. Fields the ball deep, movements laterally were raw. Had a ¾ slot and a loose arm action with consistent accuracy to the base. Solid confident on the mound, used a short compact arm action with a ¾ arm angle while showing good consistent arm speed. Drop-and-drive feel type pitcher who shows decent effort. Displays downhill shoulders with a athletic strong balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 81-82 mph; showed consistent control with sharp movement. (Max spin 1856; Avg 1725). Had a heavy changeup (74-75) that showed slight fading action and decent low in the zone command. Throws a 11/5 slider (75-76) with gradual sweeping action and sporadic control. (Max spin 2384; Avg 2169).
