shows feel for pitch; arm-side fade with small vertical action; used to throw away to LHH; presently well below average but could play to fringe average with work out of the bullpen. |

Sam Wolff presently has inconsistent mechanics and it challenges the idea of him being a starter long term. From the bullpen last year, the FB velocity played higher and it also made the CB sharper. Ultimately, that's where I think he'll end up and have the most value. He has bullpen experience.
Command profile: presently average, could get to solid average.
