Scouting the 2020 Draft: CJ Van Eyk


CJ Van Eyk RHP, College(Florida St).  6'1", 200 lbs.

2018:  7-0, 2.86, 56.2 IP, 30 BB, 70 K, 2 Saves.
2019:  10-4, 3.81, 99.1 IP, 41 BB, 129 K.

CJ Van Eyk(pronounced Ike) is another sturdy college RHP with 3 above average pitches.  The FB runs 92-96 MPH(Sits 94-95 in one video I saw).  The curve is fairly firm with a short, sharp downward bit at strike zone.  The change up has both sink and fade. The big challenge for 2020 is to improve command and throw fewer pitches(100 in 4.2 IP in one game).  He's probably a tweener for the Giants:  Not enough ceiling to take 13'th overall, but won't last until #49.   But, expect all of the college pitcher stocks to rise as the draft approaches(assuming maintenance of health) relative to HS players.
