Jack Little

Little is in the midst of posting back-to-back quality seasons out of the bullpen for Stanford. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound righthander allowed just three earned runs across 44 innings in 2018 and has allowed only 10 runs in 32.2 innings this spring. Little is very competitive and throws from a low slot with a deceptive fastball that tops out at 94 mph but plays up. While he has a long, deep arm action in the back, his delivery has good rhythm and makes the most of a drop-and-drive maneuver. His best secondary offering is an above-average changeup, and he throws a low-80s slider that shows a bit more promise than his upper-70s curveball. Neither pitch is better than fringe-average at the moment, however, leading evaluators to wonder if Little should stick in the bullpen and not take on a starting role in pro ball.
