At 6-foot-8, 200 pounds, Lord stands out for his extremely tall, projectable frame. He already has some of the best velocity in the class with a fastball that touches 94 mph from his three-quarters slot with the arm speed and physical upside to be throwing in the upper 90s or better as he packs on more weight. Lord has a fastball-heavy attack, mixing in a mid-70s curveball that he flashes feel to spin with good depth and is ahead of his changeup. Like nearly any teenage pitcher his size, Lord is still learning to sync up his long levers to repeat his release point for more consistent strikes, but he has a good delivery and arm action that bodes well for that with more experience.
