Rawlins, an imposing presence on the mound at 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, came out of the pen flashing a high-octane three-pitch mix. Rawlins shows a repeatable delivery with smooth mechanics and an innate feel for spin. Fastball sat 83-84 and topped at 85. Pairing well off of the fastball was the curveball which showed tight, late-break and created depth at 72-73. Splitter shows a future advanced offering to LHH, at 74-76 with glove-side tumble and a good feel for the zone for heavy swing-and-miss. The pitchability stands out for Rawlins as he could burst onto the scene this spring. There is immense projection still remaining within the frame and profile for Rawlins.
