Chris Cortez - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "A 6-foot-1, 205-pound righthander, Cortez is one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in the class. He averaged 98 mph with his fastball this spring and has been up to 101 with solid sinking life. The pitch plays best at the bottom of the zone and makes him a groundball machine, and he should break many wood bats in pro ball."

MLB.com - July 1st: "With little effort, Cortez produces fastballs that park at 96-98 mph and peak at 100 with power sink that makes them almost impossible to lift. Hitters can't try to sit on his heater because he also has a power slider that ranges from 86-92 mph with plenty of horizontal and vertical action."
