Fastball sat 85-86, touched 87, sinking action, locates fastball to all areas of the zone, gets more sink when low in the zone, can also bring it up in the zone for swing and misses. Curveball, 1/7 shape, big breaker, depth, potential swing and miss pitch.
We have had a chance to see Nguyen several times over the summer. He is a strong bodied kid with good feel for the zone. He was up to 83 at the Deep South, but we have seen the LHP up to as high as (86). Nguyen has always shown the ability to spin and land his breaking ball. He has good shape to the pitch and it plays an excellent change of pace, as well as a swing and miss pitch out of the zone. Good looking young left-handed arm.
