Physical Description: Tall and sturdy right-hander on the mound with great size. Large upper half with broad shoulders. Trunky thighs and stout legs fill his lower half. Near full maturity, little room for added size to his frame.
Delivery & Mechanics: Low three-quarter arm slot operation. Loose arm action with a bit of deception dropping his right arm up until point of release. Average arm speed and little effort in delivery. Incorporates lower half well, right leg remains key in delivery. Solid extension, lacks strikeout stuff but fills up the zone.
Fastball: Low-to-mid 90s offering with sinker-esque movement. Fastball has touched 95-96, but sits primary 92-93. Late movement and spin keep it low and away. Lacks consistent whiffs, but forces soft contact. Go-to pitch in his arsenal with above-average tools. Grade: 55
Slider: Mid-80s slider that lacks consistent break out of the zone. Needs more refinement and tight spin to miss bats. Sits in the zone and gets barreled. Potential to be an average off-speed pitch. Grade: 45
Changeup: Low-80s changeup that is still behind in development. Lacks shape and armside fade. Sits firm in the zone without any late movement. Needs more reps and consistency to become a reliable third pitch. Grade: 30
Control and Command: Lacks elite stuff, but does a decent job filling the zone. Shows good feel for his fastball-slider combination. Throws fastball well low and away. Occasional mistakes up in the zone. Gets out of jams, forces soft contact. Showed more growth and improvement in his command since pro ball. Control: 40 | Command: 40
Overall: Fiegl's sturdiness on the mound bode well for his strike-throwing ability. He lacks a substantial three-pitch mix and must improve his changeup as a viable third pitch. Fiegl can potentially fill a back-end starter role, but his lack of stuff makes him more of a reliever.
