Notes

Comments

1/26/19 Pitching
Body Type: 6-foot-3 227-pound prospect with a strong physical build.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Moderate tempo through an efficient delivery. Works slightly across the body with a long arm action and ¾ slot.
Fastball: 76-79 mph fastball is mostly straight working on a downhill plane.
Curveball: 57-63 mph curveball shows a little early with slurve action. Flashed some sharpness at times.
Changeup: 71-72 mph changeup is thrown with good arm speed showing occasional sinking action.
Pitchability: Shows ability to throw all of his pitches for strikes. Fastball/changeup combo is solid for his age. Would like to see more consistency in the breaking ball.
Role: Likely better suited for the bullpen at this point.
 
1/26/19
Body Type: 6-foot-3 227-pound prospect with a strong, physical build.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in a somewhat upright stance with hands tight to his ear. Shows a decent weight transfer through his swing, but could maintain better balance throughout to help better transfer power into his swing.
Hit: Showed average bat to ball ability.
Power: 85 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Still a guy whose swing is leaving some raw power on the table. If things clicked for him mechanically with his swing his body could help him develop into a potential power guy, or at least have gap to gap power.
Run: 5.31 home to 1st.
Throw: 73 mph throw across the diamond.
Field: Showed pretty good feel and footwork at 1B.
Defensive Projection: Shows the adequate skill and instincts to be a potential 1B at the next level.

7/18/17
A 6-foot-1, 217-pound prospect. Offensively, he is a right-handed bat that starts in a balanced setup. Simple approach, takes hands to launch during short stride. Path is slightly downhill and barrel gets through contact with ease. Average to above average bat speed at this stage.  Strength is his top tool at the plate. Would be aided by leveling out path to let natural power show more consistently. A strong frame for the first base position. Gets off the bag with athleticism. Ball skills are average to slightly above average for class. Looks to have enough feel and natural athleticism to grow into a playable defender at the spot. On the mound the right-hander has a slower paced, repeatable delivery. Uses an easy, chest high leg lift prior to his stride. Tall and fall type guy that finishes in line to home plate. Arm action is long back before moving through a high-¾ slot. Arm speed is developing. Fastball was consistently in the zone, staying mostly true as it crosses the plate. His go to secondary offering was his 10/4 shaped breaking ball. The pitch showed signs of sharpness and was most effectively used as a chase pitch.
