Valincius is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound lefthander with a strong and physical frame and a chance for three solid-average pitches. He doesn’t have a clear wipeout offering now but he pitches in the low 90s and has been up to 94 with a 78-83 mph slider with some sweepy action and a changeup in the low 80s. Valincius often misses with the changeup to his arm side but the pitch has solid arm-side fading life if he can add a bit more feel for it. Otherwise Valincius has shown the ability to get to average control and profiles as a solid starting pitcher because of it. He’s committed to Virginia and is the younger brother of Vytas Valincius, who is a righthanded slugger who plays for Illinois.
