| Summary: Segura works from a very low three-quarters to near sidearm slot that creates tough angles and late movement, especially when he stays synced through release. The fastball now lives mostly in the mid-90s, touching higher at peak, and plays better than the raw shape would suggest thanks to the release traits and approach angle. He’ll show some cut when he misses glove side, but when he’s on time, the pitch gets awkward swings and late reactions. The slider is the main bat-misser, flashing true two-plane action in the low-80s with the ability to sweep across the zone or dive late when buried, though command of it has wavered at times late in the season. The move into shorter stints unlocked more intent, but the overall profile still hints at more if the strike quality stabilizes. He has flashed additional looks — a deeper breaking ball and an occasional changeup with late tumble — though neither is consistently deployed enough to change hitter behavior yet. Command backed up in high-leverage looks, particularly glove side, but the operation is repeatable enough to project improvement. The combination of slot, bat-miss traits, and pitch diversity gives him real draft appeal as a relief arm, with upside tied to sharpening the slider command and tightening fastball execution rather than adding more velocity. | |||||||||||
