| Summary: Kramkowski attacks hitters from a very low three-quarter slot with heavy extension that makes his stuff play up in the zone. His fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s and has reached 97, with both a four-seam that rides and a two-seam that shows heavy arm-side run. The pitch creates uncomfortable angles and generates more life than the velocity suggests, though it can leak barrels when elevated. His delivery is stretch-only from the first-base side, repeating well enough to stay around the zone. The slider is the best offering, a sweeping breaker in the low 80s that flashes plus with big horizontal action. He mixes a cutter at 88–90 that bridges the arsenal and helps him miss barrels, especially against lefties. The changeup is still developing but shows flashes of fade, and more consistency with that pitch would round out a true starter’s mix. With the low slot and east–west movement, he disrupts timing effectively when he sequences the fastball, slider, and cutter. Projectable with a long frame and loose arm, Kramkowski fits the mold of a strike-throwing starter whose arsenal plays differently than most peers. The unique release, fastball variety, and sweeping slider give him a foundation to hold a rotation spot, with further upside if the changeup develops into a reliable fourth weapon. | |||||||||||
