WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| Pope has a good frame and throws his fastball up to 93 MPH, usually working in the 90-91 MPH range. Long term he profiles more as a closer, as his secondary stuff isn’t as good or promising as his fastball. He currently has a commitment to Kentucky, and probably won’t be signable. |
