3.15.18 - 6-foot, 165-pound right-handed pitcher. Worked from a high ¾ slot with long, quick arm action, turns the ball over early on the backside, works on-line, finishes crossing over at times. Fastball, mostly straight, downhill some, began the game at 85-87, eventually settled in at 83-85. Curveball, big change of speed, 11/5 shape, depth, 62-63. Slider, 10/4 shape, horizontal bite, 73 mph. Changeup, fade action, 77.

3.16.17 - 6-foot, 165-pound right-handed pitcher with a lanky frame. Got the start for Columbia against Bellville East. Works from an over the top arm angle  with a long arm action. Full, over head delivery with a slightly closed landing and smooth rhythm. Fastball sat 82-84 topping out at 85, flashed ability to get downhill tilt on fastball. Changeup has fading action at 77-78 mph, deceptive, thrown with fastball arm speed. Only saw one curveball, more of a show me offering present, at 63 mph with loose rotation.
