Standing at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds, Rusch is an easy-moving pitcher out of the UBC program. Long levers give him a chance to grow into his frame, as does a consistent landing point & strength through his lower half. His FB currently sits 76-79, but around the zone, paired with a changeup & curveball mix.
