Sims has the look of a pitcher who could one day have a fastball at the top of the 20-80 scouting scale. He’s 6-foot-7 and still has a ton of space to fill out, with long, whippy arm speed to throw a fastball that’s already up to 97 mph. There’s upper-tank velocity in his future with the potential to throw above 100 mph, attacking hitters with downhill angle from his high slot. There’s some aptitude to spin an 82-85 mph slider at 2,300-2,600 rpm that has two-plane depth from his high slot when it’s at its best. Sims will mix in an occasional firm changeup, but the fastball is his predominant pitch to overpower hitters. Nearly all extra long-limbed pitchers his age are still learning to sync up their deliveries to throw more strikes, but Sims made significant strides with that over the past year to throw more strikes.
