A big, 6-foot-5, 250-pound righthander with a fastball that explodes out of his hand, Hofstra throws a heater that gets up to 93-94 mph, with impressive sinking action and good downward angle on his pitches. He throws a slider as well, but the pitch can flatten out at times and get too horizontal. If he can add more depth and tilt to the pitch in the future, he has a chance for a pair of above-average offerings. Hofstra has largely been a reliever throughout his career at Purdue and set a freshman record for appearances after pitching in 28 games in 2018. For his career, Hofstra has a 3.55 ERA over 101.1 innings with a 9.2 strikeout per nine rate and 3.8 walks per nine. Hofstra’s control is fringy, and he struggled last summer in the Cape Cod League over 15.2 innings, posting a 6.32 ERA and walking 11 batters (6.3 per nine).
