A 14th round selection in last year’s draft out of State College of Florida, Forret struggled in his pro debut, allowing five earned runs, before tossing 10 consecutive scoreless in his next two outings with 15 strikeouts and one free pass.
Forret’s fastball averaged 95 MPH, touching 97 MPH with above average carry. He flashed a short, sharp slider at 85-87 MPH as well as a curveball in the low 80s, a splitter and an occasional cutter. It’s very early in the newly-turned 20-year-old’s pro career and it seems like he is feeling his arsenal out some. Over his last two successful starts, he has really showed confidence in his slider and increased willingness to throw his split. Forret could be a deep cut name to watch.
