| Summary: The profile is built on projection and feel rather than present dominance. Armah shows a high three-quarters slot with a long lower half and a delivery that creates natural downhill plane, allowing the fastball to play better than its raw velocity. The heater has ticked up into the low 90s, touching 93, and he’s comfortable working with multiple secondaries — a changeup that already shows quality separation and late action, plus both a slider and curveball he’s willing to mix. The overall operation suggests a pitcher still learning how to sync his body, but one with a foundation for starting. The breaking stuff has flashed at different points, particularly when he stays on top and finishes through release. The slider can show real two-plane shape, though consistency remains the separator, and the curveball varies between true downer and more slurvy looks. Command is still coming, especially as the delivery grows into his frame, but the pitch mix, tunneling ability, and improving velocity give him a legitimate developmental runway. If the strikes firm up as the body matures, there’s a chance for a multi-pitch starter outcome built on sequencing and feel rather than pure power. | |||||||||||
