Paul Sewald

Sewald spent most of his first three seasons at USD in the bullpen before emerging as the most consistent starter in the weekend rotation as a senior, going 8-4, 3.09 with 75 strikeouts and 27 walks in 84 innings. His stuff isn't overpowering, but he competes hard and throws strikes with a three-pitch mix. Sewald started off the year pitching in the 87-91 mph range, but he settled in around 85-88 down the stretch. He has a deceptive late-breaking slider around 77 mph and has developed a decent changeup at 80-81. Though he's a senior, Sewald's 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame might not be maxed out, and his stuff could play up in a relief role in pro ball.
