Prospect Links

Baseball America features Mike Foltyniewicz in its daily prospect notebook.

Foltyniewicz needed 109 pitches to hold Double-A San Antonio scoreless for eight innings. He maintained his dominating velocity throughout his start as he largely pitched off of a plus-plus fastball that he was able to work down in the zone early in counts and then elevate out of the zone in two-strike counts. He sat at 99 mph in the seventh and eighth innings. It was only the second time in his career that Foltyniewicz has worked eight innings...When he’s struggled, scouts have worried that Foltyniewicz’s fastball is a little too straight but when he’s getting good angle on his fastball like he was on Wednesday, that’s much less of a concern.
