| Summary: Ciscar is a righthander with a low arm slot and a sinker that sits 89-91 and touches 92, moving down and to the arm side enough to produce a lot of ground balls. He works only from the stretch and throws strikes. His high school profile pointed to more velocity and stuff than he’s shown since, and the jump never came. The sweeper, at around 80, is the best secondary, and it plays better than average. The angle he creates makes him tough on right-handed hitters. Lefties are where he’s exposed, because the changeup that should give him an answer is still behind the rest of the mix. He fits as a starter, and the strikes and ground-ball profile support it. The velocity hasn’t taken a step forward, which limits the ceiling, and without a changeup that works against lefties this is a back-of-the-rotation arm at best. | |||||||||||
