Pitch Type	Future Grade	Sitting Velocity	Peak Velocity	Report
FB	60	89-93	94	Arm-side run; command is fringy; often lives up in the zone; cut/sink; mostly 91-93; heavy pitch; can come inside to righties; 94 only once.
SL	55	83-86	87	Some tilt; shorter break than most SL; some good vertical drop; two-plane break; can manipulate it; can spike it.
CH	50	79-83	84	Lacked plus movement the first start; better in the second; had more 2-seam sinking action; maintains arm speed well; deception is there; inconsistent with command; left up too often.

Windle gets by with a plus fastball and a solid ability to sequence. Unfortunately, the secondary stuff isn't eye-popping and often is left over the plate and hittable. While he holds his velocity just fine, I see a better fit for him in the bullpen, where hopefully the fastball can rise a few ticks and the slider can become more of a weapon.
