Golatke hosts a projectable 6-foot-3 175-pound frame and showed well on both sides of the ball on Saturday. During BP, Golatke utilized a loose swing with a line drive approach that plays to all fields and recorded a max EV of 87 mph. On the INF, Golatke has active feet that work through the ball and possesses arm strength that was up to 83 mph on his hardest throw to first. To round out his day, Golatke hopped on the mound where his projectability is even more apparent. Despite being a raw mover while on the bump, Golatke reached highs of 82.6 with his FB and his lower ¾ release slot produced nearly 14 inches of HM on average. He also features a SL that averaged a spin rate of 2226 rpm and CH thrown at arm speed with heavy sink.
