Amendt is old for the class and will be 23 years old on draft day, but he has a mid-90s fastball with strong pitch metrics and has dominated out of the bullpen this spring. In 24.2 innings, Amendt has posted a 1.82 ERA, with a 47.1% strikeout rate and 12.5% walk rate. Listed at 6-foot-5, 237 pounds, Amendt throws from an artificially high slot that stems from a bit of tilt towards the first base side, but he sits around 92 and touches 95 with a fastball that has around 21 inches of induced vertical break. He’s generated a 35% miss rate with the pitch this spring, and mostly pairs it with an upper-70s curveball with top-down shape, though he has also mixed in a hard, mid-80s slider at times.
