Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | Lotzkar's fastball has touched 94 mph. |
| FB Movement: | He's got fringy average movement, with a little run and tail. |
| Slider/Curve: | It's bigger than a slider, more like a slurve. But he throws it around 82 mph with some lateness and hard bite. It has the chance to be a swing-and-miss pitch. |
| Changeup: | He didn't show a third pitch, but he has shown a changeup in the past. |
| Control: | Command is an issue, with the question being if he can command his stuff enough to be a starter at the next level. |
| Poise: | Lotzkar is aggressive on the mound, but stays under control with an attack mode going right after hitters that gives off a closer mentality vibe. |
| Physical Description: | Lotzkar is a big right-hander who fits the typical high school righty projectable mold. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | The chance ot have a power package, with a plus fastball and above-average breaking ball. |
| Weaknesses: | His command. He doesn't have it consistently enough for some. |
| Summary: | Fellow Canadian Phillippe Aumont has been getting most of the buzz, but Lotzkar deserves some as well. He's got an intriguing power package with a fastball/slider combination. How well he can harness and command his stuff, along with doing more with a third pitch, will determine whether he's a starter or reliever in the future. |
