ITW: Who are you represented by?
Kyle Touchatt: No, I am not.
ITW: Did you know the Orioles were interested in you?
Kyle Touchatt: I kind of did. They gave me a call, so I knew that they had some interest in me.
ITW: Who did you grow up rooting for in the major leagues?
Kyle Touchatt: I rooted for the Royals because I was a home-town guy, and the Braves.
ITW: Do you model your game after anybody?
Kyle Touchatt: No. I’m a believer in that everybody is different, and everyone is their own person and everybody does what they do. I don’t say I’m like any one particular guy.
ITW: What do you throw? What pitches and at what velocities?
Kyle Touchatt: Fastball, two-seam fastball and four-seam fastball, slider and changeup. My fastball is around 88-91 [MPH], my slider is 78-81 [MPH], and I think my changeup is right around 80 MPH.
ITW: What would you say is your out pitch?
Kyle Touchatt: It depends if they’re right-handed or left-handed. Against righties, I like to throw the fastball a lot, fastball and slider. Against lefties, probably my fastball, slider as a strikeout pitch, changeup every now-and-then.
ITW: What part of your game have you improved the most since coming to college?
Kyle Touchatt: Definitely this year, my senior year, I had my best year statistically and everything. I made the most ground, especially from my junior year to my senior year.
ITW: Has anyone from the organization contacted you yet? What did they tell you?
Kyle Touchatt: Yeah, they contacted me. They pretty much let me know that I’m going to be heading out on Sunday and that there are a few places that I could be going, but they’re not sure yet.
