6-foot-1, 175-pound athletic body frame. On the mound he has repeatable mechanics, using a straight up and down leg kick in a delivery that requires regular effort. He keeps his momentum in a straight line going towards home plate. When he wants more velocity on his pitches he tends to follow through, ending up towards third-base side. He throws with a clean arm action, using quicker arm speed through an upper ¾ slot. HIs fastball was between 81-84 mph. He threw a slider showing cut action between 76-77 mph. He also mixed in a changeup using fastball arm speed between 74-75 mph.

6-foot, 170-pound two-way prospect with athletic, projectable frame. From the outfield, he shows pretty good footwork throwing from a high ¾ slot showing some arm strength with carry on throws reaching a top velocity of 84 mph. Left-handed hitter starts with weight slightly more towards his back leg.

6/2/14
6-foot, 170-pound prospect with solid frame. Fastball sat at 82 mph and bumped up to 84 mph with some sink to it. Tends to use a slow rhythm. Would be aided by quickening the pace of his delivery and incorporating more hip load. Breaking ball shows excellent two-plane action at 71-72 mph. Definite follow.

6-foot, 167-pound southpaw with projectable frame. Delivery is clean. Throws with some quickness through a high ¾ arm slot. Fastball shows good cut at 79-80 mph. Relies on a 70 mph breaking ball with soft 1/7 action. Located the pitch well for strikes and kept hitters off balance. Also uses a 77 mph changeup that needs additional development.
