Zachary Jackson, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays (High-A Dunedin)
Seen in a 1 IP relief app on 6/23, as well as a 1/3IP outing in 6/29. Acting as closer for ballclub. Extra-large frame and body, intimidating presence on the mound, lacks remaining projection. Pitches from the stretch only; long, deep arm action with a plunge, above-average arm speed, overhand. High front shoulder, extends glove-side, large leg lift, has a head whack. FB 93-94 (t95), heavy offering, often left up, but has good sink when located at bottom of the zone, will be effectively wild, not a spotter, but can locate in parts of the plate. CB 86-87, 12/6 shape with extreme hard downer action, quick and sharp, hitters struggle to see it out of hand and look foolish, just really inconsistent offering, doesn't throw it for strikes, more a s/m offering out of the zone. CH 86-87, almost SF like action, falls off table, late action, s/m offering. Really interesting arsenal featuring 3 above-average to plus offerings, doesn't have the strike throwing to start but would be a good late-inning bullpen arm, strong interest.
Kirby Snead, LHP, Toronto Blue Jays (High-A Dunedin)
Seen in a 1.1 IP relief app on 6/23. Large frame and build, lacks remaining projection. Pitches from the stretch only, compact arm action, chickenwings ball, average arm speed, slot in between low-three-quarters and side-arm. FB 89-90, fringe-average sink, controls well arm-side, struggles more so glove-side, will be an issue given lower slot and delivery. SL 78-80, sweeping action with good depth and break, comfortable throwing to LHH, can drop for strikes on the outer half v. RHH, future average offering. No CH thrown, looks to be a two-pitch pitcher. Fields position well and is athletic. See as a matchup LHR, would acquire.
