June Update: It’s taken a few years for Kloffenstein to get his footing in professional ball. A 2018 third-round pick, the righthander endured through up and down periods over his three and a half seasons and never looked like much of a prospect. Left unprotected in the 2022 Rule 5 Draft, Kloffenstein was at a crossroads entering 2023. So far this spring Kloffenstein has been impressive. As of June 8 he’s tied for the Eastern League lead in strikeouts and ranks seventh in xFIP. Kloffenstein has a deep arsenal of pitches, throwing a sinker, slider, changeup, cutter, four-seam fastball and curveball. A majority of his usage is split between his slider and sinker. His sinker is a low-90s offering with heavy drop from a steeper approach angle that saw a two mph jump year over year. His slider is his most used pitch, a sweeper in the low-to-mid 80s that’s by far his best pitch from a command and feel standpoint. His cutter, changeup, curveball and four-seam fastball are all fringe to below-average offerings.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 45. Slider: 55. Curveball: 40. Cutter: 45. Changeup: 40. Control: 45
