Arnold is coming off a terrific sophomore season in which is racked up the 3'rd highest strikeout total in the NCAA. He sports a 3-pitch SP mix including a mid-90's FB, sweeping slider and a decent changeup. Although on the small side in stature, he plays up with a super-long stride reminiscent of Tim Lincecum and a sweeping arm action not dissimilar to Madison Bumgarner. He as a low-3/4 release point with just a bit shorter arm action than Bum. If he stays healthy and pitches up to his sophomore campaign, he'll be a high first round pick.
Watched his draft video. Wind up and get low push reminds me of Kershaw
