Dylan Cease's Player Profile
Fastball – No high school arm has a quicker arm than Cease, and only Tyler Kolek has thrown harder this summer. Cease’s fastball routinely sits in the 93-95 range, and has been clocked up to 97.Curve – Cease’s curveball will flash plus, a high 70’s offering with good depth and spin, but it often comes up flat and he doesn’t command the pitch very well yet. If Cease is to pass some of the better pitchers in the class, he’ll have to show more consistency with this offering.
Change – While Cease’s change up didn’t suffer from the same consistency, it also doesn’t project to be anything more than average at the next level.
Command – Cease’s command really waned over the summer, struggling to hit his spots and get ahead of hitters in the showcase events. He does repeat his delivery well and the arm action is relatively clean, so I can see the command and control at least being league average with more repetition and some minor tweaks.
