Alright, Tobias Myers. I've been able to see him a handful of times over the last 3 years. Here is what I got.
Not a big kid, but very smooth and athletic on the mound and you can tell he was a 2 way player growing up (he could have been drafted as a 3B/OF too), similar to how Plesac operates on/around the mound.
Right away, think his arm action will get cleaned up in Cleveland. Little long and loopy for how short and compact the rest of his mechanics are. Think he'll be able to make that arm action more compact and keep his high release point that helps with his effectiveness.
Stuff wise, fastball velo is the key. I've seen him sit 88-91, I've seen him sit 93-95. When he is the latter, like he was all of 2021, he is incredibly tough to handle with the vertical movement he is able to generate and the rest of his arsenal falls into place. When he is 88-91 his stuff flattens out and he gets hammered.
He adds in a slutter he likes to go to which is his trouble pitch right now, but is one of the pitches Cleveland has become notorious with on their development over the last decade. When he tosses a cement mixer it gets smashed, 85 on a tee. How he was able to give up almost 20 HRs in 117 IP last year while K'ing a ton of batters.
His curve is his best off speed pitch, IMO. Not a lot of horizontal break, but a good bit of vertical break and can be devastating when he adds a little extra velocity on it. Consistency is key with this pitch, think there needs to be some tightening up on it.
He also mixes in a solid but not spectacular change up which he likes to throw to lefties. Decent downward bite with some late run on it.
He is exactly what Cleveland looks for in a pitcher right now. Elite movement traits, strike throwing ability, multiple pitch arsenal that can be thrown in any count, smooth and simple mechanics that point to health longevity. Knowing the final few refinements he needs and them matching up with the systems strengths in development I feel like this is a good match between player and organization.
