Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 5-11, 140-pounds. Wiry, high-waisted frame.
Delivery: Fluid mover, high leg-kick into balance point with a slight coil, tall/fall lower-half, remains in-line with the plate.
Arm Action: RH. Long/loose arm swing into an over-the-top slot.
FB: T78, 76-78 mph. Mostly straight with some tilt through the zone. T2189, 2090 average rpm.
CB: 67-69 mph. Downer 11/5 action, showed feel for the zone. T2271, 2008 average rpm.
CH: 73-74 mph. Mostly straight, similar action to fastball. T1502, 1362 average rpm.
RHP Owen Ruff (Barrington, 2023) has shown a six mph jump in velocity since last winter. The 5-foot-11, 155-pound, wiry right-hander showed a quick, lively arm and ran his fastball up to 86.5 mph (2,237 average rpm) at the event. The fastball jumps out his hand with late hop and life through the zone, especially as he located it up in the zone. He throws an aggressive curveball that worked between a 12/6 and 11/5 plane, playing off the fastball at 72-73 mph, with tight spin and late action; 2,150 average rpm. He rounded out his three-pitch mix by killing the spin on his 78-80 mph change that showed control at the bottom of the strike zone. He’s a quick-armed right-hander with a quality three-pitch mix and seemingly more velocity to tap into down the road.
