| Summary: Trosclair is a southpaw who delivers from a low slot, and his frame is on the small side for a starter. The stuff still stands out. His fastball runs 91-93 and reaches 94, and it plays up because of the slot, coming at hitters on a very flat plane with run and ride. He also uses a sinker and a changeup, giving him ways to move the ball around the plate. The slider is the pitch to know. It breaks hard and wide, and he can repeat it, and it projects as a plus pitch. He throws it with confidence, attacks hitters behind it, and gets a high rate of swings and misses. The low slot makes it harder to see, which adds to its effectiveness. His control is at least average, and his mechanics are tough for hitters to pick up, which gives every pitch an extra edge. He’s improved a lot since arriving on campus. The role is an open question, with size as the main reason. Four pitches, a plus slider, and control point toward a starter, while his smaller build is not what teams typically want in that role. | |||||||||||
