Scouting Report: 90-95 mph fastball complemented by a low 80s curve and a decent 79-83 mph change. Fastball has great late downward life. Attacks the zone with good command of his fastball - doesn't throw a lot of mistake pitches. However, the control of his secondary pitches needs some improvement. His curveball and changeup could also both use some refinement. Delivery is somewhat unconventional - a little long on the back end, but his motion is smooth coming to the plate. He's shown success early on, so the organization may let him go with his delivery. However, his motion is very slow and he has allowed a lot of stolen bases. In college, Weiland struggled recovering from a broken collarbone sustained prior to the 2007 season, after demonstrating flashes of dominance during his freshman campaign at Notre Dame.
