Criswell is far from the hardest thrower in the game, with his fastball sitting at 88 miles per hour with some sinking action. He instead relies on an unconventional delivery to help keep hitters off balance, releasing from a low three-quarters arm slot that gives him significant extension from a 6-foot-6-inch frame.
After a standout high school career in Georgia, Criswell went the junior college route with two seasons at Southern Union State Community College in Wadley, Ala. He posted a 10-1 record with a 2.54 ERA and six complete games as a sophomore.
