Anyone have info on what he throws, strengths weaknesses?
Pitching solely as a reliever, Feltner dominated batters, not allowing an unearned run in 15.1 innings with a 15-to-7 strikeouts-to-walk ratio. He was given the Cape Cod Outstanding Relief Pitcher Award. While there, he said he faced hitters like Wichita State junior outfielder Greyson Jenista and Duke outfielder Griffin Conine, both considered first-round caliber batters in the draft.
Rather than being spread out over several innings or being unsure whether he was a starting pitcher or a reliever, Feltner pitched strictly in relief, allowing him to use his dominant stuff in shorter appearances.
Baseball America national college baseball writer Teddy Cahill said Feltner’s stuff overwhelmed hitters and that the shorter stints allowed him to throw harder with better location.
“I heard he was up to 97 [mph] from scouts and was throwing his fastball 93 to 97. He has a really good split-changeup and I guess that was working pretty well for him too,” Cahill said. “They just weren’t hitting him up there and I think a lot of people that saw him there and then looked at his numbers from the spring were a little confused as to maybe what had changed.”
Cahill added that Feltner is projected to fall somewhere in the fourth or fifth round of the 2018 MLB draft, but that a lot of his draft stock will be determined by what happens this season. |
