CHARLESTON, WV - It’s safe to say that Logan Sendelbach is different. Surrounded by the rest of the West Virginia Power starting rotation, he looks positively scrawny, clocking in at 185 pounds against Mitch Keller’s 195, Bret Helton’s 215, and Dario Agrazal’s 216. With the stuff he’s throwing, though, the lean righty doesn’t need the big body to create velocity.
Instead, Sendelbach, who has arguably been the second-best pitcher on the West Virginia Power, relies on deception. He uses a sinking fastball as his primary pitch, which, at 86-92 MPH, won’t overpower anyone. However, for A-ball batters used to seeing pitches that zip on a relatively straight line, the late breaking motion is enough to disrupt a swing.
