Scouting Report:
Born in South
Africa, Erasmus honed his craft in Brisbane, Australia with several
national-level teams. Played infield and had some success as a hitter,
but Boston has utilized him as a pitcher. Athletic build. Erasmus mixes
in a 90-92 mph two-seam fastball with a sold mid-70s curveball and a
decent changeup. Probably has room to add some velocity to his
fastball. Over-the-top, smooth, and deliberate delivery. Works quickly.
Very good fielder.
