Physical Description: Tall ideal pitchers frame, with well filled out frame. No physical projection left.

Mechanics: Slight lift to his front knee, brings ball-hand down towards his butt, then drops his hips and drives towards the mound and releases from a lower 3/4<92>s armslot. He swings his back leg around so he's square to home plate. When runners are on base he goes straight into the drop, to cut down on time.

Fastball: 90-92 will touch 93 at times. He has good command of his fastball, moving it around the zone. He avoids the middle of the zone and looks more comfortable when he is pounding hitters on the inside with a fastball and then going to the outside with it on the next pitch. The fastball plays better than it<92>s velocity and generates swings and misses as well as weak contact. Fastball is more sinkery in it's movements as opposed to the modern four-seamer with "rise." Grade: 45

Cutter: 86-88 he mainly uses the cutter after utilizing both the slider and fastball as a way to catch batters off balance. Shows solid horizontal movement, likes to have it come in on the hands of right-handed batters and likes to use it to front-door left-handed batters. Plays up because of the way in which he sequences it. Grade: 40

Slider: 81-83 with the slider. It is your traditional sweepy slider that gets good horizontal movement. He likes to have it start in the zone and break towards a right-handed batter as a way to effectively avoid the barrel. Likes to also locate on the outer part of the strike-zone so it breaks away from left-handed as to induce swings and misses. He effectively uses it to induce swings and misses. Grade: 50

Changeup: 82-84. He lacks feel for the changeup and seldom uses it. Used mostly as an offering that he shows after he’s seen the lineup once and they have seen the fastball-cutter-slider trio. Grade: 40

Control and Command: He fills the zone with strikes at a plus rate. He rarely walks batters, and shows above average command of all of his offerings outside of the changeup. Control: 60 | Command: 55

Overall: Doxakis is currently in the right org to get the most out of him. None of his stuff will blow you away, but he moves all his stuff around the zone and puts them in spots where they can play best. Ultimately he probably ends up in a pen where he can be a low-leverage relief or long relief type.
