5-foot-9, 170-pound, strong, thick lower half, athletic frame. A two-way player, performed well, pitched very well pounds the zone with a solid three pitch arsenal. The delivery, is simple, hands start high, work down with rocker step and then work back up with his athletic leg raise. The separation is in the middle of his frame. The direction is inline, front shoulder could stay inline slightly longer, gets squared up on release. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, arm has average length to it on the back side. The fastball was clocked at 77-81 mph with action to the arm side. The breaking ball has slurve break to it at 67-70 mph. The changeup has plus action to it, clocked at 68-69 mph. Competed at a very high level off the mound. At the plate, hits from the right side, slightly open stance, feet are even, it's a taller stance. The hands are even at shoulder height, uses a quick smaller leg kick for timing. The swing is level across his chest, showed a line drive pull approach, has enough pop to get the baseball to the alleys. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 86 mph, ran a 4.88 from home to first. Collected multiple hits in the game including a triple. Defensively, arm was clocked at 75 mph across the diamond. The hands are soft, transfer was clean, with proper footwork. The lateral speed needs to improve. Projects for me off the mound, pounds the zone, breaking ball has a chance, can locate it.
Home-First- 4.88
Exit Velocity- 86 MPH
Arm Velocity- 75 MPH

5-foot-9, 150-pound, average athletic frame, well proportioned, lower half is strong, good pitcher's frame. A right-handed pitcher, the delivery is repeatable, smooth, balanced and is on, time on release of the baseball. The arm action is short, clean and quick, has no hesitation in it at all. The fastball was poured in for a ton of strikes to both sides, clocked at 78-81 mph, it's a heavy ball. The curveball was thrown for strikes, has depth to it, clocked at 67-68 mph. The change up was clocked at 70-72 mph, showed fade to arm side and was thrown for strikes as well. Dominated in his outing. Offensively, hits from the right side, hands are loose and work freely to the baseball, hands are strong. The lower half is under control, stride is minimal, is balanced throughout and is in a good position on contact. The tee exit velocity was 84 mph, has life in his hands and finish is good. In game performance was very good, collected two triples and a single, had good swings. Defensively, shows good actions, hands work well and are soft out front. Showed the ability to make the backhand play. The arm was clocked at 78 mph, has life and carry to it. Times down the line were 4.9, legs were tight from a heavy workload of games. Two way guy at the moment, a strike throwing machine.

Second PBR event for Dillon. Showed well at this event. A right-handed arm, works out of a high-¾ slot. The motion is very simple, hands start and stay high. Leg raise is simple and squares up to plate on release and finish. Pounded the ball to both sides and was down in zone. Fastball was 76-79 mph, some action to arm-side. The breaking ball was 68-69 mph with good spin, acts like a small slider at times. The change up as some funky downward action to it, was thrown at 70 mph. At the plate, he hits from the right-side, the stance is slightly open, is balanced. The hands are loose and set off the back shoulder. The swing is level, has an understanding of how to hit, drives it to all fields. The tee exit velocity was 79 mph. In the field, he shows solid hands, with a good flow through the ball. The arm registered 76 mph across the diamond. Strength is a must, the ability to throw three pitches for strikes is a huge plus. Someone to follow as time goes on.

At 5-foot-9, 157 pounds the frame is wiry strong, shows plenty of room to add weight on. Showed extremely well at this event, looked very comfortable and confident. The delivery is simple and repeatable. The tempo was very good, hands start and stay at chest level, separates down by midsection, flicks front side glove out, should create some deception with it. The arm slot was ¾ to high -¾, fastball was 76-78 with good late life to it. The breaking pitch was in the mid 60’s, had some break and was able to drop it in for strikes. Changeup was thrown at 69-70, showed good fade and depth to armside. Strength is a must, shows promise, someone to follow.
