Scouting Report

Springs went 11-12 with a 5.10 ERA in four seasons at Appalachian State, yet showed enough for the Rangers to make him a $1,000 senior sign in the 30th round of the 2015 Draft. After never averaging more than a strikeout per inning in college, he has done so at each of his pro stops and ranked seventh in the Minors in whiff rate (11.7 per nine innings) in 2017. He has missed bats at an even greater clip since becoming a full-time reliever in late July last year and reached Triple-A this June.

Springs' go-to pitch is his fading changeup, which mesmerizes left-handers and right-handers alike. He sets it up with a 90-92 mph fastball that peaks at 94 and can get swings and misses up in the strike zone. He also will mix in a loopy curveball and a short slide on occasion.

Adding to his deception, Springs employs a crossfire delivery. He generally throws strikes but has little margin for error, so he can get hit hard if he doesn't locate his pitches where he wants. He might be no more than a middle reliever but should get an opportunity in Texas in the near future.

Pitch Movement

How this works: Every pitch is affected by the forces of gravity, which means that every pitch drops on its way from the mound to the plate. These numbers are reported with gravity, which makes them larger and different than other pitch movement numbers you may have seen. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren’t ‘better’ just because they have more time to move, the movement of a pitch is compared to ‘average’ movement by comparing it to other MLB pitch types within +/- 2 MPH and from within +/- 0.5 feet of extension and release.
