Dufault was one of the hardest throwers this spring in the Colonial Athletic Association. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Northeastern reliever posted a 3.71 ERA with 22 strikeouts and 10 walks in 17 innings. Dufault's fastball lives at 93-96 mph and has reached 98. He operates mostly off his fastball, relying on his plus velocity against CAA hitters. His best offspeed is a slider, but it's often a below-average pitch that flashes a tick better at times. Dufault has a changeup, but it's not effective and he rarely throws the pitch. Dufault has a long arm stroke and needs to better sync up his somewhat funky mechanics to improve his control.
