A loose, projectable and high upside arm with athleticism, Weisenberg has had an uneven spring but has shown well recently and could make a strong final push at Florida's high school all-star game in Sebring. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Weisenberg exemplifies the term "projectable pitcher" with an extra-large frame, lanky build and sloped shoulders atop a high, trim waist. His velocity was down early in the season but returned to form in recent weeks, sitting 90-92 mph, touching 94 after bumping 95 in the fall. The ball jumps from Weisenberg's hand and he pitches off a fastball with plus life. It plays up beyond its pure velocity readings with downhill plane, arm-side run and sink. Weisenberg, who spots up effectively to both sides of the plate, has a minimal-effort delivery with a loose arm that looks like he is playing catch and will likely allow him to have above-average control. His slider has been inconsistent this spring, flashing plus potential but often playing below that level. Weisenberg's third offering, a changeup, shows average potential. Although his talent could put him in play in the top two rounds, his commitment to Stanford is a complicating factor.
