Physically, Betances is an absolute monster. The Yankees farmhand stands 6'8 and weighs 260 lbs. With that frame comes an intimidating mound presence and impressive stuff that comes in on a hitter on a steep downhill plane. Betances fastball generally sits in the 92-94 mph range but can touch 98 mph. Generally, Betances is able to command his fastball, but the same cannot be said for his curveball. The power breaker has the making out of a swing-and-miss pitch, but right now Betances's command of the pitch is eratic. A changeup that flashes above-average rounds out his repertoire. Those three pitches give Betances the making of a frontline starter, but command struggles may relegate him to the middle-of-the-rotation or the bullpen as an late-inning reliever.
