RHP with a plethora of slots to go along with quality stuff. Sinker SL guy. Large loose frame.
Thickness in lower body. Room for more strength up top. Physically resembles Doc Gooden.
Very quick tempo. Durable stuff. Works anywhere from a high side to straight 3/4 slot. Generates
filthy run with FB. Arm takes a short path in the back, throws from his hip. Lots of deception in
delivery, arms and legs all over the place. Pauses into landing to avoid rushing out with his upper
body which has an added benefit of throwing hitters timing off. He'll work thru a lineup once
before hitters start to get comfortable in box. FB is solid avg with plus life and movement. If he
gets in a groove he will flash plus command of FB (not control) within the zone. SL is below avg
right now, slurvy life, hurt by inconsis slots which make it tough for him to throw the same SL
twice, he is best served to throw it from the highest of his slots (straight 3/4) which gives him the
tightest spin. It's mediocre if he gets underneath it from a low 3/4 slot and very hittable. CH has
potential to be his best pitch down the line. Great arm spd and deception, can throw it straight
and have it sink or turn it over and let it run away. Continued refinement of CH will be key in
Littletons' quest to find a way to combat LHH who have had success against him. Control is
Littletons' biggest roadblock to becoming a big leaguer. While on the one hand finding a consis.
slot to work from would allow him to throw more strikes it would also take away some of his
movement which makes him effective in the first place. My feeling is that if he can pick two slots
to work from (3/4 and a high side) he would retain much of his life while locating better than he
did with his previous handful of slots. With added control (which will still prob be no better than
avg) he could be a durable ground ball machine out of a big league bullpen who adds some
versatility to a staff for his ability to spot start if needed.
