[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 794360, member: 5007"] [B][URL='https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=380352']Andy Archer[/URL], RHP, Georgia Tech[/B] Archer has long been known for his gritty-type performances out of the bullpen in the past, but he has made the next step as he finds himself as a big part of the Yellow Jackets starting staff. The right-hander continues to fill out a large 6-foot-4 frame as he looks the part of a starter at the next level. The right-hander was smooth in the operation as he utilized drop-and-drive mechanics while staying direct to the dish. The arm stroke shows effort as he lived around the zone with a three-pitch mix. The fastball has always been a pitch he can rely on as the four-seamer had life out of hand. He was up to 91 mph early and then sat just under it later in his outing. The breaking ball seems to be making strides as he has been known for the changeup being the better off-speed pitch in the past. The curveball flashed depth in the upper-70s with sharp-spinning 11/5 movements. The aforementioned changeup was on point during his outing as it faded out of the zone while missing barrels in the low-80s. The question for Archer is not the arsenal, as he proved to have feel for it today, but the longevity of his performance. He seemed to lose velocity quickly in his outing that will turn people away from his ability to start at the next level.
