Scouting Report
- Good pitcher's frame. At Utah, Fife worked middle relief in 2007 and earned a rotation spot for 2008. Fastball gets up to 95 mph, but generally sits in the low 90s. Nice sink creates a lot of grounders. Also works in a mid 80s slider and a 76-89 mph curve, both have excellent potential but need refinement. Good command. Workhorse, goes deep into games, maintaining velocity. Smooth. Repeatable delivery. Really came on as a draft prospect late in the 2008 season. ~ SoxProspects.com
