Clark mostly operated out of the bullpen his first two years at Harvard, but he has been in the rotation this spring. He’s allowed a 4.93 ERA, but he also struck out 93 in 65.2 innings. Clark has appealing arm strength, running his fastball up to 97 mph and sitting at 91-95 mph as a starter, though Ivy League hitters still were able to square up his fastball. His command got him in trouble, as he walked 32 batters (4.4 BB/9), hit 11 more and uncorked 10 wild pitches. His fringe-average slider at 78-82 mph has its moments with good lateral break, an effective pitch against his current competition level but one that scouts have concerns about against more advanced hitters. Later in the season, Clark introduced a hard, short cutter in the upper 80s that some scouts felt could become his go-to pitch off his fastball. Clark also throws a below-average changeup in the mid 80s. He should draw interest from teams from the 11th round on as a potential day three pick.
