George Kirby - Prospect Profile

MLB.com: "Kirby has four potential quality pitches to make it as a starter, beginning with a running fastball that sits in the low 90s, reaches 98 mph and should add more velocity as he gets stronger. He has feel for spinning the ball and both his curveball and slider show flashes of becoming plus offerings."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 22nd: "While there are pitchers with louder pure stuff than the 6-foot-4, 201-pound righthander, Kirby is among the most likely 2019 draft prospects to make a major league impact because of his clean arm action and plus command. Through 11 starts and 71.2 innings this spring, Kirby had struck out 84 hitters and walked just five."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - Mar. 20th: "The 6-foot-4, 200-pound righthander throws a fastball in the mid-90s and has touched 97 mph recently, and he locates the pitch well to both sides of the plate. He throws both a curveball and a slider, with scouts seeing both offerings as future average—the former in the 78-82 mph range and the latter a more firm, 85-87 mph breaking ball."

Keith Law - ESPNFeb. 26th: "Kirby has been up to 95 mph and pounding the strike zone through two starts after a dominant summer as a reliever on the Cape."
