7/17/18

Right-hander pitching prospect in the 2020 class. 6-foot-2, long limbed frame with room to add. Works exclusively from the stretch. Uses an easy waist high leg lift into a drop and drive load.

Breaking ball works on an 11/5 plane with gradual action at 61-62 mph. Strike thrower that locates the fastball well and can get the curveball over for a strike or bury it as a chase pitch. Looks to have more velocity in there as well.

Breaking ball is 11/5 shaped with gradual break at 61-63 mph. Showed us a changeup for the first time that compliments his arsenal nicely.

Uses a smooth leg lift for timing. Hands move back to launch during his controlled stride forward. A back leg hitter that takes an uphill path to the baseball. Bat speed is developing. Ball came off his bat well when he stayed through contact. A contact guy at this stage. At first base he gets off the bag with confidence. Goes with a backhand on his double play balls.
