At 23 years of age, Rossi is an experienced bullpen arm for the 49ers with “now” stuff. He will sit 95-96 mph with his fastball, while also showing an above-average 84-86 slider and an effective split-change, 86-88. So far this spring he has yet to allow an earned run and surrendered just two hits in 8.2 innings with 14 strikeouts. The righthander combines stuff and the ability to pitcher that is needed for success as a short reliever at the professional level. In that role he could be a quick mover through a minor league system.
Rossi has consistent sinking action on the FB with ability to throw off speed successfully, wipeout slider up to 85 mph.

5/27/17- Roughly 6-foot-1 195-pounds, he has a strong lower half. Lands in line with a clean high 3/4 arm action. The arm has some twitch and is fairly quick currently. He does not quite get down the mound or get extended very well, but still worked 84-86 mph with the fastball that had heavy life. The arm work and as he learns to get extended should make a jump. Showed a feel for a curveball at 70-72 mph with quality shape that looks like he could turn into a harder slider. Attacked the hitters, very interesting follow.
