Changeup is his third offering, but is inconsistent and I didn't see him throw it much. His low to mid-90's fastball is average but he can command it up in the zone nicely and it pairs well with his sweeping slurve style plus breaking ball. Plus mechanics from a 3/4 slot that is fluid and repeatable. If he can be a 20/20 guy, then he suddenly jumps into Tier 3 if not Tier 2 depending on how well he can keep up his average.

Robert Gasser - LHP (Padres, 1st Base and Auto, 71/108) - The left-hander out of the University of Houston was the Padres Comp B round pick which was evidence of his hard work he has put in to build up from an uninteresting relief arm that's bounced through a couple of stops to a potential back end of the rotation starter.

Jordan McCants - SS (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 88/152) - Marlins 3rd selection out of the Florida prep ranks is a double plus runner and not much else. Normally this type of back end starter/bullpen arm would be a Tier None player, but given the strength of his changeup and his willingness to deploy it any time anywhere, he gets pushed into the bottom of Tier 3. An underslot former reliever who only started towards the end of his college career that is mainly a fastball-only guy doesn't often get the bump into Tier 3. A Tier None profile for now, but given where he started and where he's at now, someone I want to keep an eye on as there may be even more there with the hard work he's shown he is willing to put in. His best secondary is a slider, which is where he does get the swing and miss and it plays well off of his steady diet of upper quadrant fastballs.

Changeup is his third pitch with above average potential, but hasn't thrown it much.
