Age At Draft: 18.5
Dietrich wasn’t at a lot of the big summer showcase events last year. He was mostly throwing in the mid-to-upper 80s at the time, and while the stuff doesn’t blow hitters away now, his physical projection and upside have intrigued scouts this spring. Dietrich has a long, wiry build at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds with a loose arm and doesn’t have much effort to his operation. His fastball has edged up this spring, sitting at 87-90 mph with heavy life and touching 92, with a ton of space to fill out and potentially throw in the mid 90s once he adds another 30 pounds. Dietrich is more projection than present stuff. His slider and curveball can blend together, but he shows feel to spin his breaking stuff with sharp snap at times to where he should be able to miss more bats once he gains more confidence and consistency. There’s some feel for a changeup as well, though it’s behind his other stuff. Like a lot of long-limbed high school pitchers, Dietrich will need to sync up his delivery to throw a lot more strikes, as he’s been prone to bouts of wildness, something scouts highest on him think could improve with strength gains potentially helping his body control.
