Josh Hartle - Prospect Profile

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "Hartle lives in the low-90s but projects to throw harder with added strength. His slider is a sweeper with huge depth and the changeup really fades back off the slider tunnel. Those two offerings have produced immense whiff rates in the ACC."

MLB.com - March 8th: "Hartle has exquisite feel for four different pitches, starting with a fastball that averages 90 mph and tops out at 94 but misses plenty of bats because of his angle, sinking and boring action and command. His plus low-80s slider with two-plane depth is his best secondary pitch, though his upper-80s cutter isn't far behind and his mid-80s changeup also has its moments. "

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 7th: "Hartle’s a command lefty who comes at hitters with five pitches, working away from his 90-92 mph fastball to lean more on his offspeed stuff, ramping up his use of a cutter this year compared to last spring. He starts all the way on the first-base side of the rubber and cuts himself off a little in his landing, so he comes across his body and has trouble locating to his glove side."

Aram Leighton - Just Baseball - February 15th: "Though he has mostly only sat 89-92 MPH, his average fastball velocity climbed a tick as the season progressed. It features heavy sink and is a ground ball-inducing machine."
