3/3/13 - Long lean frame, highly projectable body, long levers, 6-foot-5, 190-pound left handed two way player. High ceiling on the mound, high level state prospect in 2015 class. Delivery shows some rhythm, stays on line and directional. Long arm action, arm works well, high ¾ arm slot. Fastball has slight run, showed control, 77-79 mph, should see increase in velocity with added strength. Curveball has 11/5 shape, opens early and leaves arm side, has potential, will be a high level pitch if he can stay closed longer and get it out in front. Changeup is thrown with near fastball arm speed, occasional sink and run to arm side, 72-74 mph. Defensively shows a soft glove around the bag, clean exchange. Hits from a balanced setup, drops hands at load, slight leg lift trigger. Average bat speed, 73 mph exit velocity, swing flattens out early, lacks overall strength.
