Pitch Type Future Grade Sitting Velocity Peak Velocity Report
FB 50 88-91 91 Average command; velo looks stronger due to long extension; extreme armside run; boring action; works to both sides of the plate; works best when boring into hands of batters.
SL 40 81-83 84 Below-average command; mild feel; moderate sweep; slows arm ocassionally; release points were inconsistent; slight refinements in release points and command will push this pitch to a fringe offering; do not envision the mechanics allowing him to consistently command the offering.
CH 40 83-85 85 Below-average command; mild feel; replicates arm speed; mild fade; lacks velo separation from FB; slight refinements in release point will improve offering.
Overall

Rheault is a tall and lanky pitcher that has extreme moving and plane on his pitches, but the tall frame also correlates to inconsistent mechanics and a struggle to repeat his overall delivery. I envision Rheault in an up-and-down relief role due to these inconsistencies.

Round Drafted: 19th round, 2013
Why: Tall and projectable body with three pitch mix from a extreme, downhill plane; potential for middle relief profile.
