School: Dayton Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 23.5
A senior lefthander with a 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame, Manfredi led Dayton in innings this spring during his second year with the program. He posted a 4.99 ERA over 15 starts and 79.1 innings, with a 27% strikeout rate and 10.7% walk rate. After that strong campaign, he headed to the Cape Cod League, where he pitched well with Wareham in his first three starts and posted a 2.08 ERA over 13 innings, with 16 strikeouts and four walks. Manfredi pitches in the 90-94 mph range with his fastball, which has just average life, though a lower release point via a sidearm slot helped it play up and generate a solid, 25% whiff rate this spring. He pitched heavily off the fastball, but used a slider, curveball and changeup each about 10% of the time to round out a four-pitch mix. His slider is a low-80s breaking ball with short action that he mostly throws to the glove side and looks like his best bat-misser, while his mid-70s curveball is slower with more slurve-like shape and is more of a get-me-over offering. His mid-80s changeup hasn’t been much of a swing-and-miss pitch, though he has used it to generate a solid number of weakly hit ground balls. Manfredi could be an interesting senior sign on day three who brings unique release point traits to the table.
