Ferguson

10/25/15- The lanky 6-foot, 145-pound prospect uses long arm action through a high-3/4 to over the top arm slot, normal effort in delivery, pounds the strike zone with all pitches, spots his fastball well on both sides of the plate, fastball shows occasional slight arm-side run at 76-78 mph topping at 79. He also showed a curveball with an 11/5 break and sitting at 67-69 mph. Showed a straight change at 68-70 mph thrown with good arm speed. Ferguson had four strikeouts and gave up one hit in two innings during game play. He has potential to add additional velocity as he fills out his frame. As a position player, posted a 7.83 60 time and had a 74 mph position velocity across the infield.  Defensively Ferguson shows long arm action with a high-3/4 release, some accuracy, average arm strength, hands are adequate but tends to field the ball with one hand at times. Offensively, Ferguson shows average bat speed from the right side and had a 70 mph exit velocity off the tee. Ferguson hits from a balanced setup, has a short stride, uses his lower, has a level path but will drop his hands at times to trigger swing, line drive type hitter with a middle of the field approach, went 0 for 3 during game play.
