6-foot-2, 195-pound right-handed pitcher and outfielder. On the mound, the fastball touched 79 mph, minimal arm side run to it. The spin pitch is 67-69 and has the correct shape to it. The changeup is a work in progress. Pitches out of a plus ¾ slot, the arm works clean. Frame is muscle bound. The tracking of the front shoulder needs to be cleaned up as he runs away from his arm. The direction of the feet to home plate in online. The glove comes across the hitters face adding to the pull to the first base side. Defensively, threw 77 mph from the outfield out of a clean throwing path. The approach to the ball is athletic and appropriate. Ran a 7.01 sixty at the event. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 79 mph. Sets up with his feet even and uses a pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches.

6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander out of the Team Cape Cod Baseball program.  Long and physical right-hander showed arm strength at the event. Pitches out of a higher than ¾ arm slot. The leverage to the ball is good and he shows feel for pitching. The delivery is methodical, glides into foot strike and showed appropriate direction to the plate. The fastball touched 78 mph with downhill plane to it. The spin pitch was 69 mph, good shape to it. The changeup is 71 mph, needs a spin fix. Follow as the frame is big and he throws strikes.
