Varies release and shape of curveball, consistent spin, best when on top, will cut his change up to good effect, threw strikes comfortably with all pitches. Best he's ever thrown in 27+ Perfect Game events, looked like a professional pitcher this day.

Dakota Freese is a 2011 RHP/ with a 6-4 185 lb. frame from Cedar Rapids, IA who attends Washington. Long wiry athletic build. Quick loose arm that produced consistent fastball velocity and improved movement with cutting action. Lincecum like delivery with long extended arm action from high 3/4 slot, hides the ball well. Maintained velo throughout, showed solid four pitch mix with a good power slider at 85 and an effective changeup to left handed hitters. Continued to show improved command this spring. Curveball break still inconsistent but flashes good depth and solid downer break. Signed with LSU-Eunice.

Dakota Freese is a 2011 RHP with a 6-4 190 lb. frame from Cedar Rapids, IA who attends Washington HS. Long slender build, some wiry strength. Tim Lincecum type delivery, long loose deep arm action, over the top release point. Fastball touched 91 mph, highest we've seen him, pitched at 88-90 mph, mostly straight. Big downer curveball at times, 12/6 shape, will occasionally hang. Good feel for change up, still developing slider, have seen it sharp in the past. Very good first outing, could be ready for a big spring. Signed with LSU-Eunice.
