Denzell
Watkins

Uncommitted. It was clear to see that the RHP was dialed in from the moment he toed the rubber. As he would end up going 6.0 IP, surrendering only one-hit while striking out 8. Standing an athletic 5-foot-10, 165-pounds, Watkins, an athletic and easy mover, shows a repeatable delivery and present arm speed. The junior commanded a three pitch-mix and filled up the zone with ease. Fastball sat 83-86 while topping at 87 with more to come. The curveball showed 12/6 movement at 71-73, while creating depth for swing-and-miss. Watkins showed extreme confidence in the curveball with the ability to flip it over early for strikes or bury it for whiffs. Also flashed the occasional slider at 76-79 that tunneled well off of the fastball with tight break. Watkins will throw a ton of innings this spring for GAC and is one to follow with obvious projection remaining.
