Vanegas is a strong and athletic 6-3, 205 lb right hander from Northern California.  He has a polished well paced delivery that he repeats well and has a mature ability to spot his pitches and control movement and velocity.  Vanegas pitches consistently in the 90-91 mph range with good sink and run and can touch 94 mph at times with his 4-seamer.  He’ll vary his breaking ball velocity and shape between a sharp breaking curveball in the low to mid 70’s and a shorter, later slider close to 80 mph.  Vanegas is an outstanding student who has made a verbal commitment to Stanford.  He will still draw serious interest from MLB scouts over the next year.
