10.21.14 - 6-foot-3, 170-pound lanky right-handed pitcher works from a long, over the top arm slot. Arm action is long in back, then shortens coming from ear. Coils lower half at balance point, pointing lead leg foot all the way back towards second base, creating torque in lower half. Level shoulders throughout delivery, lower half stride direction stays in line with home plate, lands slightly closed at foot strike, finishes athletically. Fastball sat 70-73 mph, up a tick from two weeks past. Slider/cutter showed 11/5 downer action at 64-66 mph, harder than in the past. 66-68 mph changeup showed more sink than previously.

Coils lower half at balance point, pointing lead leg foot all the way back towards second base, creating torque in lower half. Level shoulders throughout delivery, lower half stride direction stays in line with home plate, lands slightly closed at foot strike, finishes athletically. Fastball sat 69-72 mph, thrown for strikes with cutting action. 12/6 knuckle curve was also thrown for strikes between 58-61 mph. 66-68 mph changeup showed fading action to his arm side, and did a good job of staying behind his 62-65 mph cutter with late horizontal action.
