9/28/14 - 5-foot-8, 185-pound prospect uses shorter arm action through a high ¾ slot, generates 73-77 mph velocity with his fastball, two-seamer showed some arm-side run, four-seamer showed late cutting action, throws more of a slurvy type breaking ball that sat 61-64 with 2/8 movement and good arm speed, change-up was 65-69 with near fastball arm speed arm side run and sink. Consistently throws strikes.  As a position player, posted a 7.23 60-yard dash and 86 mph exit velocity off the tee. Quick arm with line carry and velocity of 80 mph from over-the-top arm slot, shows athleticism in the field.  Hitting approach still needs improvement, long swing path with arm bar, but flashed a quick bat, ball jumps when he squares it, tendency to take uphill path to ball. Recorded hard hit triple to right field in game play.
