Comments
Fastball:Vineyard's fastball sat in the 88-91 mph range.
Fastball movement:Vineyard has average life to his fastball.
Slider:Right now, Vineyard's slider is average, but it's already an out pitch.
Changeup:Vineyard's change is below-average now, but projects to be an average offering.
Control:He's got below-average command currently, but with a good delivery, projects to have average or above-average command in the future.
Poise:He's got good athletic actions on the mound and excellent aggressiveness in attacking hitters.
Physical Description:The decently sized southpaw has a Jamie Walker-type body.
Medical Update:Healthy.
Strengths:He has the chance to have a three-pitch mix. He's got a good delivery and is athletic on the mound.
Weaknesses:He needs more movement on his fastball because there's not a lot of projection to it.
Summary:This is turning out to be a pretty good draft for high school lefties and Vineyard adds to the depth at the position. He has the chance to have a good three-pitch mix with a slider that is an out pitch right now. While there's not a ton of projection to make, he should improve on things like command and fastball movement. He might be a tick behind the top prep southpaws on draft day, but he won't fall too far.
