    Wright is a physical Florida righthander who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs in around 230 pounds. Working with Montverde (Fla.) Academy's nutrition and training staff, Wright has shed some of the poor weight he carried previously, going from an offensive line-type build to a cleaned up machine. That body improvement has allowed his stuff to improve this spring, as he went from 87-91 mph with his fastball to now regularly being in the 90-96 mph range with consistent 92 mph offerings. In addition to his solid-average fastball, Wright throws a 78-82 mph slider that breaks late with tight spin--a future plus breaking ball. In addition to his physical attributes and pure stuff, Wright is extremely young for his high school class.
