View Draft Report
The 6-foot-4 Fruit enjoyed a nice junior season at Troy in which he struck out 92 across 69.2 innings pitched. A likely reliever professionally, Fruit’s calling card is his fastball which averaged 95.1 mph this season. It is a lively pitch with some natural arm side run and carry through the strike zone. Fruit supplements his fastball with a sharp, above average slider with plenty of horizontal action. This season it had a miss rate of 42% and projects to be a swing-and-miss pitch at the next level.
