View Draft Report
Sommer is a proven college performer with Indiana and has a career 3.71 ERA over four seasons. He pitched mostly out of the bullpen before moving to a full-time starting role in 2020 and this spring posted a 4.60 ERA over 12 starts and 62.2 innings, while striking out 69 batters and walking 38. Sommer is a soft-tosser who throws his fastball in the upper 80s and occasionally touches 91, but he has good feel for an upper-70s/low-80s changeup that he threw around 30% of the time this spring. He also throws a curveball and a cutter and shows feel to pitch to both sides of the plate.
