Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Doyle
Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/L
Acquired: 2018 Draft - 14th Round, WSH
RuleV: On 40-man
Physical Description: Strong and sturdy lefty on the mound. Physical presence with a good build to his frame. Thick lower half with strong glutes. Wide shoulders. Good amount of muscle packed to his frame.
Fastball: Generally a low 90s offering that's flashing into the mid 90s on occasion. Fastball is inconsistent with run, sink, and ride depending on release. Seemingly can't throw a straight fastball if he tried. Deception allows the pitch to sneak up on hitters. Command has been an issue. Grade: 50
Slider: Another offering with deception. Probably his best pitch. Plenty of late break. Pretty devastating, especially in on righties. Reverse splits. Grade: 50
Slurve: Low-80s with inconsistent movement profile and release point. Must focus on developing pitch as another offering against lefties. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Generally not great control, really emphasized in short appearances in 2020. Projects an average command pitcher when fully settled. Control: 45 | Command: 45
Overall: Fletcher has been an absolutely shutdown reliever at every level and his reverse splits suggest he has a long future at the big league level. Fastball consistency, as well as command across the board will need to improve if he hopes his deception and average stuff will succeed long-term.
