Displayed really good feel for his CT. Located it away to RHH & back foot to LHH. Tunneled very well off the FB away to RHH. Generated tons of S/M. Can really spin the rock✔️

2027 RHP Collin Miller (Ephrata HS, PA)

The young SO held his own under the bright lights of a championship game👏

A projectable, starting pitcher’s frame. A lower 3/4 slot, FB was depthy but held plane at the top of zone as well. Kept OS down in the zone for weak contact. Held velo the whole outing.

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Tim Mayza has been an undervalued bullpen ace for the past three years, and our @Tyson_MLB believes the Blue Jays will heavily rely on the southpaw once again in 2024:
