| Semi-windup, big leg kick and high hands to a low break by his back hip. Hides the ball well. Very deceptive with herky-jerky mechanics. OTT slot and you see it late. Will vary leg kick and timing. 1.3-1.4 out of the stretch |

88-92 mostly, spots it well up and down the zone. Added velo as he went along to sit low-90s, faded to upper-80s late. Will cut or run it at times, and it mostly seems to be on purpose. Life up in the zone due to the deception. Gets some late/bad swings. Funk will limit command/control projection to average at best. Even factoring in handedness and deception, tough to get it to average, although it will be effective until it isn't. |

Better command of the curve than the fastball, can spot or bury. Will manipulate the shape/velo to more 12-7 and low-70s to steal a strike or get a chase east/west. Harder downer is the out pitch. Would occasionally get soft and loopy, but enough good ones for an easy plus projection. |

Used sparingly, but was confident enough to throw one inside to a righty on a 3-2 pitch. Best one showed average tumble, but it can get loose and scroogie and not in a good way. Some feel here, but doesn't really need it at this level. |

Feole is a prospect I like more than I should. It's pretty safe to write lefty middle reliever with a shot at 7th/8th inning utility and move on. I like him as a starter. The frame isn't projectable, but the slot gives him some extra height and the fastball is tough to pick up. The curve could be a real weapon and his ability to give it different looks is an asset because he would have to lean on it heavily as a starter. There are durability questions due to a recent shoulder injury, but I'd give him every chance to start. I would submit him as a late second or third round pick given the injury/relief risk, but there's a shot at a fourth starter here.
