Theophilus had an outstanding showing in Aug. 2023 at the Area Code Games Underclass event, where he struck out eight of the 12 batters he faced and didn’t allow a hit. He generated 14 swings and misses in 48 pitches there, including eight on 10 swings against his slider. Theophilus has an aggressive, high-energy delivery out of the stretch and fast arm speed to throw a fastball that reaches 93 mph and should eventually climb into the mid 90s. He spins his 80-84 mph slider in the 2,000-2,300 rpm range, manipulating shape on it to have tight, late break or produce wider, sweeping action. He should continue to develop as a starter, but his stuff and high-intensity approach could play well in a relief role.
