01/18/2013 - 2013 Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Axel is an RHP who has a tall and athletic build. On the mound, he delivers through a high 3/4 arm slot and long/free arm action. He stays on top of his FB which ranges from 84-87 mph and shows some run and sink. He changes speeds and mixes his pitches well, keeping hitters off balance. CB is 67-69 mph and shows 11/5 shape and sharp break. He also throws a splitter which is a very effective pitch in his repertoire. As a hitter, Axel shows a tall setup, short stride, and good balance. He swings on a level path and is a contact type hitter. Arrieta will get looks to play at the next level with his talents on the mound.
