6-foot-2, 160-pound, athletically-built, left-handed pitcher. Got the start on the mound and turned in an impressive overall performance. Took a tough loss after carrying a no-hitter into the top of the seventh inning. Attacked with a true three-pitch mix. Clean, athletic, repeatable delivery; simple with minimal wasted movement and works on-line. Short, clean arm action, high ¾ slot. Fastball plays mostly straight, in and around the zone, touched 85 mph early and sat mostly 82-83 throughout. Went to a curveball with sharp, hard-biting action as his go-to secondary offering; 72-75 mph with 2200+ rpm. Has a chance to be a plus offering down the road, especially as his feel for it continues to improve. Flashed a straight changeup at 80-81 mph 1600 rpm. Athletic left-handed pitcher with a high-ceiling and his best days yet to come. Final line: 6.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 6 K
Standing in at 6-foot-2, 160-pounds, Nathan Zednovec shows plenty of projectability in his frame. He also had the single strongest outing of anyone throughout the weekend, throwing a perfect seven innings, allowing nobody on base and striking out 15 batters in the process. Zdenovec has a loose and easy arm action from the left side, offering a fastball in the low 0s that held its velo throughout the start. The rising sophomore also showed a feel for two secondary offerings: a low 70s breaking ball with late bite and some sweep, as well as a changeup in the 77-78 range that came with depth. There is a lot to like with this young arm, and following his performance on Friday, he is surely to be a name to keep an eye on.
Athletic 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame with room to add strength. Zdenovec shined Sunday morning as struck out nine batters through a five-inning complete game. The left-hander operates from a stretch-only delivery with a high leg lift while having a tall/fall approach. Long, loose, clean arm action from a ¾ slot. His fastball sat 79-80 mph while he was able to locate to all parts of the zone. Zdenovec mixed in a slider that sat 71-73 mph with sharp, late actions.
