View Draft Report
At 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Whitt attacks hitters with a sidearm delivery that helped him develop into a durable force in Nevada's bullpen for three seasons. He wore down somewhat down the stretch in 2015, though he still racked up 14 saves, tops in the Mountain West Conference. At his best, Whitt pitches inside to hitters from both sides of the plate with an 86-90 mph fastball with life up in the zone, then changes speeds and eye level with a sinking changeup that he likes to run away from hitters. His slider is more of a show-me pitch at this point.
