Hardball times scouting report
Specifically, this is Alex Eisenberg’s scouting report on picks 18-26 of this year’s draft, including Friedrich at 25, obviously.

In summary, he said.
Overall, Friedrich has to shore up a couple things, but a college lefty with pretty good stuff and four pitches aren’t that common, and getting the kind of value that Friedrich could provide late in the first round makes this a solid pick for the Rockies.
I’m sorry if this has been posted before, but I just came across it recently.

Here's
a link to a Tri-City Herald story that appeared after the Pebble Report went up.

Hmm
Whippy overhand, gets rid of the ball fast, doesn’t seem to have too many frills in his delivery, and (from what I can tell, which is limited) doesn’t appear to have some glaring mechanical issue. Of course, it would help if I could see the result of the pitches (i.e, was it a swinging strike, a ball, hit into play, etc) and how he finishes, rather than 43 seconds of rather jumpy footage, but he does seem to be settling down better after his rough first start.
