Sturtsman is a sturdy, 6-foot-2, 260 pounder with a chance to transform into a real power arm. There is present strength in the lower half, along with easy arm strength, that helped him reach 88 mph on his best bullet. The arm works in a clean, uninterrupted fashion to an over-the-top slot, keeping the ball moving with above average arm speed. The fastball plays with significant carry, averaging 20.9" of IVB that should allow his riding heater to miss bats. Sturtsman showed two above average breaking balls, both working in the low-to-mid 70s, with sweeping shape to the slider and two-plane shape to the curveball. He showed a 75-77 mph changeup, though his other three offerings are a bit ahead at the moment. There are plenty of present traits to like with the strong-armed righty that fills the zone at an above average clip.
