View Draft Report

Rinehart is the latest arm to come out of ascendant pitching factory California Baptist. After excelling in the Cape Cod League last summer, he went 9-0, 3.20 this spring to help the Lancers make a successful transition to Division I and was named Western Athletic Conference pitcher of the year. Rinehart is an athletic, physical righthander with a low 90s fastball that peaks at 94 mph. His fastball plays up with extreme armside run that gets in on righthanded batters and locks them up. His curveball and changeup are average to above-average offerings. Rinehart has missed time each of the last two years with elbow issues, but he has a track record of success when he’s been on the mound. He has the three-pitch arsenal to start or the running fastball to profile as a right-on-right matchup reliever.

Scouting Reports

TRACK RECORD: California Baptist has become a school that steadily produces draftable pitchers. Rinehart impressed in three years with the Lancers and also in the Cape Cod League in the leadup to his junior year. But like many pitchers, he’s seen a further jump in his stuff since joining the Mariners. He participated in instructional league in 2020.

SCOUTING REPORT: Rinehart sat in the low-90s at Cal Baptist, but he has gotten stronger and now sits in the mid-90s and can touch 97. Rinehart’s above-average fastball has good sink and boring action. He has shown the ability to avoid the sweet spot of bats, but isn’t a strikeout artist. Rinehart throws a slurvy slider for strikes and mixes in a below-average changeup.

THE FUTURE: After making it to low Class A in his debut season in 2019, Rhinehart should be ready to head to a more aggressive assignment in 2021. He projects as a potential low-leverage reliever with fringe-average control.
