A naturally fluid and aesthetically pleasing throwing motion generates easy velocity from a three-quarter release point. |

Patino's easy velocity translates to a hard, lateral moving slider. Although currently inconsistent in movement and velocity (83 to 90 MPH), the pitch should develop into a plus-offering. |
| Curveball |

79 |
A sharp breaking 11-to-5 curveball stands on its own as a plus pitch. When served alongside a 95-plus fastball and Patino's other two plus pitches, it becomes even filthier. |

Good deception and arm-speed help establish Patino's plus changeup, adding a level of craftiness to the power-stuff. |
|
The naturally gifted Patino is rapidly progressing as he develops his impressive talents. His aptitude and high ceiling make him one of the top pitching prospects in baseball.
