Findlay came into the spring with attention from Northeast scouts because of his pitchability and feel for spin from the left side, though his fastball hasn't taken the step forward many were hoping to see. Findlay has a smooth, sound delivery and throws mostly 86-90 mph with the ability to touch 91. His touch and feel on the mound is advanced for his age, as he throws a lot of strikes and shows the ability to manipulate his breaking stuff. It's not a plus curveball, but it's a solid-average pitch at times in the mid 70s with good spin and depth, along with an average low-80s slider that can also induce empty swings. Findlay shows feel for a changeup as well. Findlay isn't the most athletic or explosive pitcher, and he turns 19 in August, so he's on the older end of the 2021 class and there might not be much more zip coming to his fastball. The sense among scouts in the Northeast is that Findlay more than likely ends up at Notre Dame, with a chance to develop into one of the better lefties in the ACC.
