Uncommitted. VanDewynchel had a very impressive weekend. Fastball has good asr and is able to consistently attack the zone with it, topping out at 84. Changeup also pairs really well with the fastball as it consistently sits around 75 and is thrown with the same intensity and tunnels extremely well with his fastball. He throws an effective breaking ball and is able to live down in the zone. With a 6’2 171 frame there is a lot of room for growth and potential to be great at the next level.
