A slender 6-foot-3, 165 pounds, Mitchell pitches from an easy delivery, has good arm action and the ball comes out of his hand cleanly. His fastball has been up to 92 mph and he has the physical projection to throw harder once he adds more weight. Mitchell is able to get swing-and-miss with both his fastball and curveball, attacking hitters up in the zone with his heater and changing eye levels with his curveball. It’s a hard curve at 77-79 mph that he shows feel to spin and has sharp snap to be able to miss bats against more advanced hitters. Strikes for Mitchell have been inconsistent, but getting stronger should help him both enhance his stuff and potentially repeat his delivery more often.
