Weyer evokes Kentucky freshman Sean Hjelle and 2007 Yankees first-rounder Andrew Brackman as a legit 6-foot-11 righthander. He overcame a meniscus injury in his right knee to get back on the mound this spring and show projection and surprising command for such a tall, young pitcher. He attends a small charter school and is academically oriented, without the current plus stuff to buy him out of his Seattle commitment. He has touched 90 mph even with the knee injury, and there's more velocity to come as he gains strength both in his drive leg and his frame in general. Weyer's best secondary pitch is his changeup, and his breaking ball is well below-average. His arm is loose and his arm action clean, keeping some evaluators bullish on Weyer's future.
