Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Tyler Jennings
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 CBA Round 2
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Big, slender frame at 6'3", 205 pounds with some projection left. Long limbs, his legs in particular, with a high waist and broad shoulders. Very athletic. Big piece to Michigan's 2019 College World Series run.
Delivery & Mechanics: Turn and fire delivery with a high leg kick. Throws from a three-quarters arm slot and pitches downhill well. Gets elite extension, upwards of seven feet, from release heights of 5.7-5.9 feet. Good at repeating delivery and has incorporated more into his lower half with Arizona.
Fastball: Henry was never a hard thrower at Michigan, sitting in the low-90's and seeing his velocity dip into the high-80's at times. However, he did touch 94-95 MPH at times, and according to reports out of camp, Henry saw an uptick in velocity. He was sitting around 93 MPH and was reaching back for 95 MPH, which is very promising. It's a low-spin fastball, with spin rates averaging just above 2,200 RPM, with nearly nine inches of run to the pitch and 16 inches of vertical break. The main question will be if Henry can maintain this velocity into 2021. Grade: 55
Slider: Another low-spin offering in Henry's arsenal, averaging just above 2,000 RPM in the low-to-mid 80's. There is some good depth to the pitch, with tight break to it, as well. Gets just under a half foot of vertical break and three inches of horizontal movement on average. Good ability to locate the pitch well, including being able to use it as a backdoor pitch this year. Looks to be an above-average offering. Grade: 55
Changeup: Low-to-mid 80's offering that has an optimal spin rate average at just under 1,500 RPM. Gets good fading action with the pitch, with nearly six inches of vertical break and about 12.5 inches of run. Good separation from the fastball, especially with recent velocity uptick with the heater. Commanded very well and is a good weapon for Henry. Grade: 55
Control and Command: The most impressive part of Henry's toolset is his ability to control and command the baseball. In nearly 237 innings at Michigan, Henry only walked 63 batters and has a good ability to throw strikes. He's able to command all three pitches excellently, which is what makes Henry's stuff play well. Control: 60 | Command: 55
Overall: Henry is likely to be a quick riser through Arizona's system. The current plan is for Henry to continue starting, with a chance that he becomes a good backend starter. However, the lack of track record with the newfound velocity is what currently limits him. Spot starting at the big league level is an option, though he could be a nice long relief arm.
