1/21/19 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-11 165-pound prospect with room to add strength.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Fluid delivery with an efficient lower half, uses a long arm action working out of a ¾ slot with fairly easy effort.

Fastball: 77-79 mph fastball works on a downward plane with sinking action. Strong candidate for a velocity jump as he matures.

Curveball: 64-65 mph breaking ball shows developing depth on an 11/5 tilt.

Changeup: 66-67 mph changeup is thrown with deceptive arm action and shows regular cut towards the glove side.

Pitchability: Offers a true three pitch mix. Shows ability to work the fastball to both sides of the plate and throw both secondary offerings for strikes. Presently the breaking is his best secondary pitch and has the potential to be above average.

Role: Shows good feel and offers solid stuff, could potentially be a starting option for small colleges. Current build suggests there may be more velocity in the tank.
