6-foot, 200-pound, strong, physically athletic frame. The shoulders and back are wide, well proportioned, has room to fill out. A left-handed pitcher, has a strong live arm, fastball is heavy and gets on the hitter quick, clocked at 79-81 mph, with more in the tank. The delivery is simple works out of the stretch the entire time. The arm action is longer on the backside, comes out of a high ¾ slot, fastball was drilled to the glove side, has some cross fire to him. The upper half needs to stay stacked up, wants to bend over belly and loses leverage. The breaking ball was clocked at 64-66 mph, has the hand speed to turn it into a slider/cutter. The changeup has cut action to it at 74 mph. Offensively, hits from the left side, has extremely strong hands, tee exit velocity was at 89 mph, hands are set low and are quick to the baseball. For timing uses a small leg kick, swing path is down to level, creates lift to it. The approach looked to be from gap to gap. From the outfield, attacks the baseball aggressively, steps through hard, arm was clocked at 79 mph, throws were down hill and online. Projects for me as more of a pitcher, could be very tough left on left out of the pen, needs to find a little slider. Solid follow, need to see him this spring.
Forty-Yard Dash: 5.16
Exit Velocity: 89 mph

6-foot, 175-pound left-handed hitting outfielder that has improved a great deal in the last year. The bat has more life to it, he runs and throws much better as well. At the plate, tee exit velocity of 86 mph. Hits out of an even base with relaxed hands approach. The path works, needs to stay on the ball more, but the hands are good. Using the whole field in batting practice will help him stay on the ball more appropriately. Ran a 4.51 down the line on his dig. Showed solid skills in the outfield, gets off the ball well and threw 80 mph from right field with carry. On the mound, showed well. The fastball has arm side run to it, sitting 80-81 mph out of a slightly lower than ¾ angle. The spin pitch is 69 mph and the changeup is 73-74 mph with minimal action on it. The delivery is repeated, athletic lift, slight pull of the glove off target and clean arm action. Could be a matchup left-hander at the next level.

Left-handed hitting outfielder who also pitches. The body length and frame has improved immensely. He has a classic left-handed swing, the plane of the bat is good and the looseness is good. With strength and at bats you can see him having a chance for good plate coverage and spreading the field. Decent athlete who ran a 7.50 60-yard dash and needs to improve his routes in the outfield. Threw 74 mph from the outfield with plus carry and had a good tee exit velocity of 82 mph. On the mound, the has a rotational delivery with a clean, loose ¾ arm. Fastball got to 75 mph and the spin has the right shape at 62 mph. The spin on the changeup is good and will progress with work.
