Physical Description: Big time athleticism and quick arm. Starters build with an arsenal to support it. Sound mechanics and durable frame should development well.
Delivery & Mechanics: Loose, quick arm with an over-the-top downhill plane. Shows good balance and strong plant lead leg for younger prospects. Release point is repeatable for all pitches.
Fastball: Pretty straight as it stands with a little ride. Has primarily been low 90s, touching 93 in international training for Seattle. Projects into the high 90s thanks to arm speed and athletic body. Shape is to be determined. Grade: 50
Curveball: Very good feel for a curveball at a young age. Lots of depth and keeps armspeed well. Currently a pretty low speed, 72-73 offering. Projects as a possible above average offering as he adds strength and velo. Grade: 50
Changeup: Still gathering feels for changeup, but already exhibits some tumble and fade. Low 80s offering that's particularly effective against righties. Could be his best secondary in due time. Throws with conviction. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Very strong command for a 17-year-old. Projects to be a good starter archetype thanks to natural feel to pitch and pound strikezone. Control: 55 | Command: 50
Overall: Cardozo will be a long-project but his command and current stuff project well for a future starter. Likely will end up in the 6-2, 195 pound range with a mid 90s fastball and good secondary offerings, both of which have flashed at least average. Adding strength is the biggest priority right now.
