Righthander Matt Spalding's fastball sits at 91-93 mph and peaks at 95, and he has held his velocity deep into games and throughout the spring. He has significant effort and a head whack in his delivery and there's not much projection in his 6-foot, 180-pound frame. His slider lacks consistent bite, and he faces a future as a reliever in pro ball. He's a good athlete who'll get the chance to be a two-way player if he attends Western Kentucky.
