View Draft Report
After serving as Texas Christian's moment of truth reliever as a sophomore, Wymer moved into the Horned Frogs weekend rotation as a junior. Unfortunately for Wymer, he showed in his new role that he's probably better suited as a reliever. Eventually, TCU moved the 6-foot-1 Wymer back into a multi-inning relief role as April turned to May. Pitching as a starter, his fastball tailed off from 93-95 mph he showed out of the bullpen and settled closer to 90-92 mph. Wymer's high-70s, 12-to-6 curveball was still an above-average pitch as a starter, but it's even sharper out of the bullpen. He started using his below-average changeup more in longer stints, but at his best, it's his above-average control of his big breaking ball and an above-average fastball that could make him a useful reliever in pro ball.

Track Record: Wymer worked out of the bullpen his first two seasons at Texas Christian, then moved to the Horned Frogs' weekend rotation as a junior. He moved back into a multi-inning reliever midway through the season, then signed with the Blue Jays for $478,600 as a fourth-round pick. When he got to short-season Vancouver, Wymer never went more than three innings in an outing
Scouting Report: Wymer's future is likely as a reliever, a role that suited him best in college. As a starter, he sat in the low 90s, though out of the bullpen he worked at 93-95 mph. His upper-70s curveball is an above-average pitch, and it played up with more sharpness in short stints. Wymer lacks a reliable third pitch, as his changeup is below-average. Wymer fills the strike zone, showing above-average control.
The Future: Wymer will open 2019 at one of Toronto's Class A affiliates, though he could move quickly if the Blue Jays opt to develop him as a reliever.
