Covey first grabbed the attention of California scouts at a San Gabriel
Valley underclassman showcase in Alhambra in the summer of 2008. A sophomore
at the time, Covey unleashed a series of throws from right field that
exhibited his terrific arm strength. Not surprisingly, several scouts asked
Covey if he was a pitcher and asked when he would be throwing next. Since
then, Covey has matured, grown into his frame and improved his conditioning.
The results have been sensational. Covey made all the standard showcase
appearances in the past year, with uniformly outstanding performances. Covey,
solidly built at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, hammers the strike zone with a 93-94
mph fastball that can touch 96. He adds a wicked 81-82 mph slider and has
steadily developed his curve and changeup. Covey's arm works smoothly and his
has solid mechanics, though he will need to fight a tendency to pull his lead
shoulder open when tired. Resembling a younger, lighter version of Giants
righthander Matt Cain, Covey profiles as a No. 2 or No. 3 starter with four
average to plus offerings. A San Diego signee, Covey ranks a notch above the
rest in a deep Southern California prep pitching class and figures to take a
shorter path to the majors than his peers.
