View Draft Report
Finfrock started for two years at Central Florida with some success before undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2016 and missing the entire 2017 season. A redshirt junior, Finfrock started seven games this spring and pitched in nine appearances out of the bullpen, posting a 3.56 ERA with a 50 strikeouts and 29 walks in 48 innings of work. A strict reliever at the next level, Finfrock has a poor, short arm action and a fastball that ticks up to 94-95 out of the bullpen but sits at 90-92 as a starter. The arm action is bad enough that teams are worried that another injury is only waiting to happen, but a team might want to take a shot on his natural arm strength after the tenth round.

Finfrock has one of the quicker arms in the high school class and has shown consistent 92-94 mph velocity this spring, touching 96. He has some deception to his delivery, hiding the ball well, and his fastball plays up with plus life. His breaking ball has at least average potential, though it can get sweepy. His changeup flashes average. Finfrock throws strikes and projects for at least average control, but he'll have to overcome the bias against short high school righthanders. He is 5-foot-11, 166 pounds, leading many evaluators to project him in the bullpen and push him down draft boards. The Central Florida commit missed time down the stretch with a hand injury.
