BlueJays prospect Adam Kloffenstein takes pride in the command of the arsenal he uses to throw hitters off-balance (jchan_811)
prospect Adam Kloffenstein wants to be known for his control and precision, not a reading on the radar gun.
The towering six-foot-six right-hander credits the approach to his father, John, who instilled that mindset at a young age. The Houston-native was named 2018 high school player of the year by his local paper after posting an 11-1 record with 113 strikeouts and just 17 walks in 78 innings with Magnolia High School. The eye-popping numbers may be a surprise to some, but Magnolia baseball coach Taylor Shiflett credits Kloffenstein’s confidence and ability to mix pitches for his success.
“Then it just started where he got really hungry. He would come in at 5:30 in the morning, and train before school,” said Evans, who has worked with over 50 major-league prospects in his career. “He’s constantly challenging himself to have the pitch go where he wants it to go have it break how he wants it to break.”
