Focus Area Comments
Fastball: Ross threw his fastball in the 93-95 mph.
Fastball movement: His fastball sinks and rides in on right-handed hitters.
Slider: It's a little inconsistent; sometimes it's a plus pitch, sometimes it's
more of a slurve.
Changeup: It's a good pitch against left-handed hitters.
Curve: He'll flip one every once in a while, but it's more of a show-me pitch
right now.
Control: He can throw all of his pitches for strikes.
Poise: He never shows emotion on the mound and has makeup off the charts.
Physical Description: Ross is a big, imposing right-hander, a Fergie Jenkins
type.
Medical Update: A strained lat muscle forced him out for a few weeks, but he's
healthy now.
Strengths: Big and strong, he's got three pitches that all work in the strike
zone.
Weaknesses: He has an unconventional delivery -- it's very upright -- that
turns some scouts off and makes others see him as a reliever.
Summary: Ross has all the makings of a front-of-the-rotation starter, from
stuff to size. He's very imposing on the mound with a fastball that
runs up to the mid-90s. He's got two other pitches that work well,
albeit with an upright delivery that worries some, but it's worked for
him to this point.

SCOUTING REPORT (3/1): Ross was Team USA’s most consistent and dependable
starter last summer, compiling a 4-1, 0.82 record with a team-high 39
strikeouts and only seven walks in 44 innings. An excellent competitor with
athleticism and a feel for pitching, he was as his best when the stakes were
highest. He pitches to contact low in the zone and throws all three of his
pitches for strikes: a 90-95 mph fastball with excellent sinking action, a
late, tight 83-85 mph slider (his strikeout pitch) and an average changeup
that is effective against lefthanded hitters. The ball comes out of his hand so
easy that it is like he is playing catch, but he also gets good deception in
his delivery because of a short arm action and hitters rarely get good swings
off him. Ross has the size, stamina and stuff to remain in a starting role, but
his delivery and mechanics have been an issue since he was in high school and
may suggest a move to the bullpen. He has little extension either at the
beginning or end of his arm action and he’s somewhat upright in his delivery
and lands tall into a stiff front side. So far, his mechanics have not been a
major issue as he did not miss a start in his first two years at Cal—though he
did miss a couple of starts early this season with a muscle strain in his right
scapular area. He followed up a solid 6-4, 3.19 freshman season for the Bears
with an impressive sophomore campaign, when he went 6-6, 2.49 with 39 walks and
120 strikeouts in 116 innings. His summer with Team USA only served to confirm
his immediate future is as a starter.—ALLAN SIMPSON
UPDATE (5/1): Ross didn’t consistently dominate this season as he did a year
ago, going 7-2, 4.29 with 56 strikeouts in 65 innings, and his early-season
injury, unconventional delivery and inconsistent command were hot topics among
scouts. Some view him as a legit talent near the end of the first round, others
are less certain. He generally pitched well, with the exception of a couple of
rocky starts against Pac-10 rivals Southern Cal and Arizona State, when his
command deserted him. For the most part, his stuff was consistent. His fastball
continued to top out at 95, and the other four pitches in his repertoire—his
slider, 85-88 mph cutter, 77-80 mph curve and 81-82 mph changeup—were all
solid.—AS

35 TYSON ROSS, RHP, California
Yet another NorCal Baseball alum, Ross stepped into California's weekend
rotation as a freshman and has filled the Friday role for two years. He also
pitched well for Team USA last summer and was the team's most consistent
pitcher. His velocity was down during the summer in the mid-to-upper 80s, and
has been erratic again this spring. He was at his best against Stanford in a
May victory, touching 96 mph and sitting in the low 90s. Moreover, Ross worked
off his fastball and used his changeup effectively against the Cardinal in a
start that may convince teams to leave him as a starter. His best pitch is a
plus slider thrown in the low-80s with short, hard break. At times it has
two-plane break, and it's such a good pitch and he locates it so well that at
times he throws it far too often, working off the slider instead of his
fastball. The biggest question on Ross is his mechanics. His stride is
exceptionally short for a pitcher his size (6-foot-5, 220 pounds), leading to
stress on his arm and a lack of extension to finish off pitches down in the
zone. Also, his arm action is short in the back, and it may be difficult to
"fix" all those issues. Some scouts believe that would do more harm than good,
though, and would send him to the bullpen as a pro to use that slider as a
weapon.
