Finnel grew into his body later than most others in the draft class, but by the end of the high school season he had half of the MLB teams running into see him at the last minute. After sitting 86-89 mph at the Area Code tryouts last summer and showing just average athleticism, the lanky, 6-foot-4 righthander added strength and coordination and began pitching at 90-94 in the spring with one of the fastest arms on the West Coast. He complements his fastball with an above-average curveball and has the arm speed conducive to learning a changeup. Not every team is on Finnel because he popped up so late, but those interested see him as a third-to-fourth round talent. He is committed to UC Santa Barbara but seems open to signing.
