Athletic, long right-handed pitcher from Cape Cod CC. Stands 6-foot-5, 185-pounds. The arm is extremely good, clean on the back side and comes at the hitter slightly higher than 3/4. The ball jumps out of his hand, the fastball has arm side run to it, touching 87 mph. There is certainly more to come with this guy. The slider has the right shape and could be dominate with a bit more tilt to it, sat at 76 mph. The changeup showed the correct spin, sitting at 79 mph. Direction to home and initiation of ball hand as opposed to glove side is warranted. Big time arm for me, has made significant strides since high school.

Tall and lanky right handed pitcher who showed a very good 3-pitch mix at the event. The arm works extremely well and projects to gain velocity as he matures. The fastball has arm side run to it. the breaking ball is short, with a good shape. The changeup has fade and sink to it, making it a possible above average pitch at the next level. The delivery is simple and online. Projects to throw very hard with the makings of good secondary pitches.

Long and lanky right-handed pitcher who showed a good, clean arm swing.The arms are gangily, leading you to believe this guy will throw gas at some point. Right now he is 83-84 with life and action to the fastball. The breaking ball sits at 70 and has sweepy action to it as it crosses two planes as it approached the hitter. The slider is a good pitch, really small right now, and got to 76. 1.25 out of the stretch, and held his delivery. The frame is thin now but the shoulders are wide and can use weight on the frame. High level projection for me.
