Tolsma

USF Commit. Tolsma has a young frame, athletic and body to add strength. Tolsma is a pitcher that I have seen a few times during the year and liked his stuff. Recently I’ve started becoming really high on Tolsma as a player who going to gets some helium for the 2020 class. On Sunday night Tolsma reassured me that this summer he will pick up some steam. Is easy put of the windup and stretch and doesn’t over exert on arm action uses natural strength for power. His fastball sits 87-88 MPH with an occasional 89 MPH. Has easy velocity with room to add speed. HE has some late run and locates the pitch well. He does throw his change-up for a strike which for a high school pitcher you don’t see that as much. It has good speed variation from the fastball sitting 78-81 MPH.  He threw a cutter which was 83-84 MPH a nasty pitch and a strike out pitch. He has a strong command of the zone, advanced for his age and only walked 4 batters this season for his high school team. Great body language on the mound for his age. Is a smart pitcher doesn’t over power you but wins with location and smarts. Good competitor and is confident in his stuff. Tolsma is an athlete I’ve been told he is a 6.6-6.7 60-yard dash guy. He is a solid two-way player and can swing the bat with a nice line drive swing. He going to be a pitcher at the next level. I’m excited to continue to follow Tolsma this summer and expect him to pick up some Helium this summer and into his senior season.
