I had a four-inning look in summer 2009 and liked what I saw from Jesse Biddle.
Jesse Biddle, LHP
6-5, 220
Germantown Friends HS
Games seen: 2, Innings: 5 (Summer 2009)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Power build, broad shoulders, wide hips and thighs, strong lower half, built for the long haul.
STRENGTHS: FB 90-93 with room for more, above-average FB movement, late life. Curveball 73, some shape, was developing power when I saw him. CH at 85, a little too hard. Good extension, balance and downhill for a tall pitcher.
WEAKNESSES: Slightly below-average fastball control when I saw him, should grade up to average in coming years. Looking forward to seeing change-up development next time I see him.
SUMMARY: Really liked this prospect in very limited look. Thought there should be more in his arm in the years to come. Looking forward to seeing how secondary stuff and conditioning has developed since I last saw him.
GRADES (Present/Future):
Fastball 50/60
Curveball 30/50
Change-up 30/50
Command 30/50
Control 30/50
Overall Future Potential: 52
