Work in progress; much more quiet than before; consistency becoming more fluid; arm slot can change every so often but become less frequent; effort taken out but shows occasionally; crossfire

Nix has come a long way from when I saw him in the AZL. Fastball velo has improved every outing, as well as the consistency of his delivery. Sat 94-95, with multiple 97s. Curve has always shown great potential with a more consistent arm slot and a little bit of a tighter spin, has 60 potential with those improvements. Change up has marked improvement over the last year, showing as an average pitch, with a better feel as of late for it. Potential to be number two or three pitcher if everything works out for the best.
