| Medium frame with an athletic build, physically mature; works at a slow, deliberate pace and pitches out of a semi-windup; quick arm, throws from high 3/4 slot, repeats the delivery well. |

Despite lack of height, high arm slot helps the pitch get some downward plane; Straight but has some late life; currently more control rather than command; Velocity will tick up a notch in a bullpen role. |

A seventh-round, underslot signing out of Georgia Tech, Curry has found success as a starter early in his professional career but is likely destined for a bullpen role. Small in stature, he uses a high arm slot to make the fastball tough for hitters to pick up. He pairs it with the curve, which is the best secondary and has potential to be an average offering. Profiles as a future middle reliever.
