Standing 6-foot-2, 183-pounds, Britt already has a great mound presence and ability. He uses his whole frame in delivery by getting low into the legs and full extension down the bump. His FB was very heavy at 79-82, averaging 15+ inches of IVB. He complimented this with 3 offspeed offerings, relying on the CB and CH, showing an occasional SL. The CB had tight movement and HZB at 74-76. The CH was highly impressive as it killed spin (consistent sub 980 RPM, touching 743 RPM) and kept hitters off balance at 71-73. The SL was frisbee-like for another option sitting 72-73. There were occasional WP, but as he matures physically and mentally, control is sure to follow.
