View Draft Report
A Florida International signee, Plouck dominated Arizona's juco ranks this spring, going 4-4, 1.43 and allowing just 49 hits in 82 innings. He's a slinger at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds with a quick arm and athleticism. He has good extension in his delivery and topped out at 92-93 mph with life, though he pitches more in the upper 80s. He lacks the strength to maintain his delivery and velocity deep into games over the course of the spring, and that also led to control issues (5.4 BB/9). Plouck has shown a good feel for a changeup and uses the pitch well. His curveball has good shape but he doesn't consistently land it for strikes.
