Rob Kaminsky
Born: 09/02/1994 (Age: 20) |
| Bats: Right |
Throws: Left |
| Height: 6' 0" |
Weight: 195 |
|

Build: Short, thin; needs to ad some strength in lower half but doesn't have a lot of room for growth in frame.
Mechancis: Low 3/4 arm slot; not smooth or fluid arm action, some violence in explosion towards plate, does not gather well at top of delivers, rushes thorugh; does not use lower half enough; arm action is stiff and short on back end; short stride leaves him throwing uphill over his front side. |

Velocity: 55/55
Movement: 45/50
Command: 50/55
Wide range of velocity on fastball, added and subtracted with pitch throughout game; some arm-side run, not enough to generate consistent ground balls; can flatten out easily due to lack of height and lower release point, no downward plane; average command, might not have much room for improvement due to effort in delivery. |

Velocity: 50/50
Movement: 55/55
Command: 60/60
Short, downward movement, did not show good depth; was able to change shape and throw slower with more break at times; used sparingly early in game and only against lefties, used against righties only third time through the order; commanded it well, threw for strikes consistently and kept low in zone. |

Velocity: 50/50
Movement: 45/50
Command: 50/55
A work in progress but has the potential to be an effective third pitch; throws for strikes consistently; can get too firm and overthrow; works best in high 70's to create velocity differential from fastball; shows more consistent arm-side movement than fastball; replicates his arm speed well; comfortable throwing it to same side hitters; will need some vertical movement to miss bats but has potential. |

A lack of size and fluidity to his delivery leave Kaminsky without much projection despite being just 20 years old. He shows good pitchability for a player his age, understanding how to add and subtract with both his fastball and curveball and showing a feel for the development of his change-up, which has the potential to be a third above-average offering. None of the pitches showed as potential plus offerings, however, leaving him with a relatively high floor but a low ceiling as a back-end starter.
