Physical Description: Noticeable size and frame. Large upper half with sound shoulders and long arms. Solid lower half and good size overall. Filled his frame to complement his height.
Delivery & Mechanics: High three-quarter slot delivery from the right side. Methodical windup with slight left leg kick in delivery. Polished mechanics and arm action throughout operation. Good extension and control. Sound mechanics overall with little concern in delivery.
Fastball: Low-90s fastball that lacks standout features. Fastball sits 92-93, touched 97-98 during instructs. Lacks spin and late movement, stays a bit flat in the zone. Controls it well with average movement. Grade: 55
Curveball: Low-70s curveball showing solid depth and break. Solid 12-6 movement and distinct drop in the zone. Commands it well in two-strike counts. Stands out amongst his off-speed pitches with its consistency. Grade: 55
Slider: Mid-80s offering that lacks consistent horizontal break. Struggles finding shape and break, stays flat in the zone. Good velocity and spin overall, needs more consistency and improvement. Grade: 45
Changeup: Low-80s changeup that shows good life and depth. Sits 81-83 with solid depth and shape. Effective offering against righties, shows swing-and-miss potential. Distinct dip in velocity to fastball, solid pitch in his arsenal. Grade: 50
Control and Command: Has a good feel for the zone. Commands all four pitches well with confidence. Lacks strikeout stuff, but doesn't fall behind in the count. Fills the zone efficiently. Shows solid command and control on the mound. Control: 50 | Command: 50
Overall: Winder's solid command makes up for his lack of stuff at points. He has good feel for all four pitches and pounds the zone. If his stuff improves, he has the size to fill in as a backed starter.
