2/23/14
6-foot-5, 199-pound prospect with big, tall frame. Throws through high ¾ arm slot. Short arm action with tall and fall type delivery. Velocity should pick up with improved use of his lower half. Fastball has some sink at 78-79 mph. Breaking ball has late 10/4 action at 68-69 mph while changeup shows similar movement to his fastball at 73-74 mph.

11/2/13
6-foot-5, 200 pounds with a big, strong frame.  Ran an 8.08 60-yard dash.  Projects best on the mound at the next level.  Throws through a 3/4 slot with somewhat loose arm action at first base.  Offers above average hands, and uses a somewhat quick transfer.  Throws show some life when thrown across the diamond as he topped out at 77 mph.  At the plate, he starts with a wide slightly open set-up and uses a small leg lift.  The left-handed hitter uses an uphill swing path, and shows some power potential.  Pull tendencies in swing.  Reached a top exit velocity of 78 mph off the tee.  On the mound, he throws through the same 3/4 slot with some looseness in arm action.  Overall, uses a slow tempo delivery.  The southpaw features a 79-80 mph fastball that shows occasional cutting action.  He works in his 68-69 mph curveball that shows 11/5 movement.  Also uses a 73-74 mph changeup that shows potential.  The change is thrown at fastball arm speed and also displays some fading action.
