Scouting report
Foley signed as an undrafted free agent after the Tigers saw him throwing in a collegiate wood bat league the summer after he was draft eligible. He was a tall, softer-bodied righty at Sacred Heart who took a little longer to grow into relevant velocity, which has since grown into impact heat. Foley blew out and missed 2018 but his arm strength was back after his Tommy John. His pre-surgery out-pitch was his changeup but he seemed to work more with a slider after he returned. During 2021 spring training, Foley has continued to sit in the 96-99 range with his fastball and those 1500 rpm, low-90s split/changes are being thrown in his outings more than his slider. He has 40+ FV stuff and could be a foundational piece of the Tigers' 2021 bullpen, but his injury history and age round his FV down a little bit. (Alternate site, Fall Instructional League)
