View Draft Report
Myers anchored Pittsburgh's pitching staff, filling the strike zone to rank eighth in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 3.21 ERA. He's not overpowering, pitching at 89-93 mph and touching 94, but his fastball has good carry to miss bats when he elevates and he's effective at driving his fastball down in the zone as well. Myers leans heavily on his 80-85 mph slider, which tailed off in his later starts but for most of the season was a consistent, solid-average pitch. Myers attacks righties almost exclusively with fastballs and sliders, though he mixes in a below-average changeup against lefties. Myers has a sound delivery and throws frequent strikes with a 2.5 walk rate in 2021. He has the control and mechanics to start, but as a two-pitch guy, he might fit better in a bullpen, where his velocity and slider could play up in short stints.
