Cape Cod: After pitching just one inning in two seasons for the Razorbacks, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound right-hander logged 18 innings this summer and also represented the Gatemen in the All-Star game. He attempts to keep his delivery simple, working slowly after a long set then delivering it to the plate from a high three-quarter release point with lightning quick arm speed. His arm speed is almost too quick, causing his timing to consistently be out of sync with his lower half which causes frequent misfires and a lack of control. His heater touched 97 while most landed in the 94-96 mph range. His top off speed pitch was a slider/cutter in the upper-80s. Its shape and movement was plus, but control was below average. Faherty walked 20 and struck out 20 in 18.1 innings this summer. Raw stuff-wise, it’s a two plus pitch arsenal that is worthy of top five round consideration, but control issues don’t allow it to play. Regardless, Faherty is a prospect and will be closely watched this fall and next spring back in Fayetteville.
Faherty has yet to work out his control issues, which has kept him on the recruiting board, but the arm is electric. His fastball sat 90-92 with elite spin rates up to 2652. He threw two breaking balls at 73 mph, one of which was sharp and in the strike zone with a spin rate of 2758. If he can figure out how to repeat his delivery, there is a special talent waiting to happen in his 6-foot-4, 170 pound frame.
