Westin Vanderwerf is a 2016 RHP/MIF with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Avondale, AZ who attends Independence HS. Medium, athletic build with broad shoulder and nice present strength throughout well proportioned frame. Ran a 7.47 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitched, full arm action through the back with an extended and low three-quarter release. High leg kick up past belt, curls at top of delivery before coming to the plate, lands open with front side with effort at release. Creates some downhill plane to fastball, up to 82 mph, mostly straight with occasional cut at release. Hides the ball and creates deception. Higher arm slot on curveball, shows 11-5 shape at 66 mph. Similar low three-quarter arm action across the infield, stays back on the ball, longer strides up the middle, shows accuracy on throws across. Right-handed hitter, starts with a wide base and a medium hand set. Stays short to the ball with bat path, line drive swing plane with occasional lift at contact. Sound swing, comes off the barrel well when squared, shows feel to hit to the middle of the field. Good student.
