| XL frame with a slender body; has some physical projection left but not much; athletic; good body and frame to log innings. Pitches from a full windup; smooth arm action with fair arm speed; three-quarters slot; works quick. |

Ladwig is a strike thrower if there was a definition of one, he has plus control of his arsenal and has okay command of it all. He lacks a knockout offering and can be hittable since he is in the zone so often. Interesting projectable pitcher who could be a usable swingman.
Control- 60/60
Command- 45/50
