Rummel is a large, physical righthander with a workhorse look and a 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame. While he might lack much more physical projection, he has plenty of strength now throughout his lower and upper halves with a barrel chest and broad shoulders. Rummel has a simple operation and throws from a three-quarters slot with a slight crossfire delivery and only a tick of effort in his finish. He throws a fastball in the 90-93 mph range and has touched 96, though he did come out of the gates a bit slow as a senior and didn’t take a step forward with his average or top-end velocity. Rummel uses two breaking balls: an upper-70s curveball with 11-to-5 and solid depth, and a slider that checks in a few ticks harder and features more gloveside horizontal sweep. Both of his breaking balls can blend together at times and he’ll need to improve his ability to separate them and throw with consistent shape. Between the two, though, he should be able to get to a solid or better secondary. Rummel has not featured much of a changeup yet, which creates some reliever risk when coupled with his scattered strike-throwing. He’s committed to Texas and will be a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus.

Rummel has a strong frame at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and the look of a potential power arm with a fastball that has been up to 96 mph. With a cross-body delivery, Rummel will need to sharpen his control, but he has one of the better fastballs in the class and throws a curveball with good depth.
