Pence is a 6-foot-2, 215-pound lefthanded reliever with a fastball-dominant pitch mix. He has three legitimate options on the mound including the fastball, a mid-80s changeup and a low-80s slider, but he uses the heater more than 80% of the time. It’s a quality pitch that has averaged 92 mph and been up to 95 with solid riding life and above-average induced vertical break that allow it to play above its velocity. Through his first 21 games and 30.2 innings, he has posted a 1.76 ERA and generated a 35% miss rate with the fastball, though his control is below average and he’s a straight reliever prospect.
