Will Bednar - Prospect Profile

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - June 18: "Bednar throws a fastball that sits in the 92-94 mph range and touches 97, but the pitch plays up and gets an impressive amount of whiffs, especially up in the zone. Both his slider and changeup have been swing-and-miss offerings for him this spring, though he’s relied much more heavily on the breaking ball."

MLB - June: "He sits at 93-95 mph and tops out at 97 with his fastball, which can exhibit both heavy life and riding action. His mid-80s slider has become a consistent plus pitch this spring, surpassing his solid upper-70s curveball with depth."

Prospects Live - May 31: "Bednar's fastball has some late life and ride and has ticked up from last year, now more comfortably sitting 91-94, touching 95. The heater is his primary and gets thrown a ton. As a pro, he’ll be tasked with throwing the slider far more often, and for good reason."
