No. 7 Florida 12, South Carolina 2 (Sunday)

The Florida Gators sent out another young, talented arm to the mound on Sunday, with freshman righthander Alex Faedo following in the footsteps of Friday and Saturday sophomore starters Logan Shore and Dane Dunning.

Having been used predominately out of the bullpen this spring, Faedo pitched very well in what was his first SEC start, and retired the first 14 Gamecock hitters to come to the plate.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder from Tampa is pretty well proportioned, but the frame should easily be able to handle some additional strength, particularly in the upper body, as Faedo's lower half already has some present thickness and strength. Working from the third base side of the rubber and utilizing a three-quarters arm slot Faedo presents an uncomfortable and deceptive at-bat for opposing batters, particularly righthanded hitters.

Faedo sat in the 89-92 mph range, and touched 93 in the early going of his 5 2/3 inning start. With solid run to the arm side and decent sink when located down in the zone, Faedo's heater proved to be a difficult pitch for hitters to square up. Furthermore, Faedo was able to keep Gamecock hitters off of the basepaths for the first four innings because he showed above average command of the offering and did a nice job of locating in the lower part of the strike zone.

Faedo's feel for his secondary offerings were also quite crisp on Sunday. While he previously had not thrown many changeups in a relief appearance against the University of Miami and a midweek start against Florida State University earlier in the spring, he showcased the pitch fairly often this weekend, and was even comfortable throwing the pitch to righthanded hitters. Generally registering between 80-83 mph, the offering was a bit inconsistent in the early going, but became more of a weapon the in the middle innings. Flashing some nice fade and late action when thrown below the knees, the changeup played well off of the fastball at times, and Faedo was able to coax some swings and misses with the pitch. Faedo's slider, working in the 78-83 mph range, also showed well in this outing. Although he varied the depth on the offering, Faedo showed pretty good feel for when to tighten up the break on the offering and use it as a put away, swing-and-miss pitch, and it also flashed solid-average potential.

Having already been drafted – in the 40th round of the 2014 draft – Faedo may be able to put himself in the conversation as one of the better arms for the 2017 draft if he continues to perform well at the Cape Cod League this summer, where he will be playing for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.
