View Draft Report
Lomeli began the year as the Friday night starter for St. Mary’s, but after sitting 86-88 mph and getting hit hard, he moved to the bullpen and made significant mechanical changes. Lomeli raised his arm slot, shortened his arm path and began sitting 93-94 mph in short bursts in relief. He posted a 2.82 ERA in seven relief appearances before returning to the rotation for the final series of the season. None of Lomeli’s secondary pitches is above-average, but he is an elite strike thrower and will alter his arm angle to keep hitters off-balance. His new mechanics and velocity boost give him a chance to rise as a reliever.
