Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP/SS
Body: 5-10, 149-pounds. Lean, athletic build with more strength coming soon.
Delivery: Easy, repeatable, high kick motion, drop and drive lower half.
Arm Action: RH. Clean, short arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T82, 79-82 mph. Ride through the zone with slight cut. T2207, 2029 average rpm.
CB: 67-68 mph. Slurvy, 11/6 shape, works down. T2303, 2165 average rpm.
CH: 73-73 mph. Flashed, drops off from FB. T1802, 1794 average rpm.
Uncommitted. Really impressive outing against a very tough and intimidating opponent for anyone, let alone a freshman arm. Came out throwing with confidence, unafraid to attack the zone with any of his pitches. Developing frame, currently listed at 5-foot-10, 150 pounds with athleticism. Drop and drive delivery with a quick tempo, featured a lively FB that played in the lower 80s. Also offered a CB with 11-5 bite and a change-up with depth and fade. He ended up finishing the day with four innings pitched, three hits, three walks, and a strikeout. While the stat line may not wow you at first glance, there’s a lot to like with VanderHeyden, and he is a name to keep an eye on going forward.
Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-10, 150-pound frame with room to add strength. Started on the mound and hit out of the eight-hole. Vanderheyden impressed on Wednesday as held a tough lineup to four runs through 4.2 innings. The right-hander operates from a drop/drive approach with a high leg lift with tuck. Long, clean arm action from a ¾ slot. Fastball sat 80-82 with arm-side run. Mixed in a changeup that sat 72-75 and maintained arm-speed. Also, threw a curveball that sat 66-69 with depth. Quick-mover on the mound. Interesting 2028 arm to keep an eye on.
