Yankees' Minor League RHP Bryan Mitchell's OIP Pitching Mechanics Evaluation

Name: Bryan Bedford Mitchell
Born: April 19, 1991 in Pensacola, Fla.
High School: Rockingham County HS, Hamlet, N.C.
Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 205
Bats: L Throws: R

Can hit mid 90s with FB  Has decent down angle curve which shows flashes. At the present time, he has a live arm. Sadly, he does throw mostly with his arm and not near enough with his body which in time will lead to injury problems if not corrected. At his age, generally, habits and muscle memory are ingrained, but, hopefully, he will be one of the rare exceptions and get his problems ironed out. (Now)

Leg Extension: -8

Hip Rotation: -17

Follow Through: -12  Very shallow, high, and incomplete...lacking shoulder to shoulder finish to the target affecting control and also leverage for consistent bite on his curve

OIP (Overall Injury Probability): -37%
