Scouting Report
From Baseball America in 2020
Ranked #295 prospect in 2020 draft
Tulloch pitched well at Wingate in 2019 during his freshman season, posting a 2.42 ERA over 48.1 innings with 64 strikeouts and 31 walks. He continued to walk batters at a high rate as a sophomore with JC of Central Florida in 25 innings this spring—with 21—but again managed to have success thanks to plenty of strikeouts (42) and posted a 2.88 ERA. Tulloch profiles as a reliever because of the effort in his drop-and-drive delivery and his below-average control, but he has a fastball that gets up to 95 mph from the left side and a fringe-average breaking ball. In a typical draft year, Tulloch could have intrigued teams that liked his arm strength from the left side in the 6-10 round range.
