Chris Gloor Quinnipiac
6'6 260 LHP
FROM PGCrosschecker (best scouting in the world, i thought pgstaff would like that)
An easy selection as the Coastal Plain League’s No. 1 prospect this summer, Gloor showed unusually fluid mechanics, command and pitchability for a big lefthander. He had the ability to throw three pitches for strikes, including a 90-92 mph moving fastball that crept to the mid-90s on occasion, an above-average curve and change. He got good downhill plane on his pitches and pounded the strike zone consistently. Gloor dominated CPL hitters, striking out 78 in 48 innings—a nine-inning average of 14.6—while limiting them to a skimpy .130 batting average. He went 3-2 overall and his 1.30 ERA was the second-best in the league. He made huge strides in his development from the spring, when he went 4-2, 4.22 with 68 strikeouts in 60 innings as a sophomore at Quinnipiac. At this point, he projects as a third- or fourth-round pick in next year’s draft—provided he can duplicate his summer performance. In his first two college seasons, his fastball was a more common 84-88 mph and he had little feel for a curve or changeup.
