Scouting Report

6-foot-3, 170-pound RHP/3B. On the mound, drop and drive delivery, utilizes lower half very well and creates angle and tilt down in the zone, repeatable delivery. Directionally in line, slightly closed landing, occasionally falls to first base side, athletic finish. Regular effort throughout, long arm action, quick arm speed out front with an over the top slot. Fastball is has good arm side run and sat 84-85 mph. Curveball, 12/6 shape, breaks late out of the hand, ranged 66-69 mph. Change showed well with same arm speed, 72-74 mph with late sink.

6-foot-3, 170-pound right hand hitting RHP/3B.  In the field he plays a solid first base.  He shows good instincts and placement.  He has athletic feet and gets into proper throwing position and delivers an accurate 84 MPH ball across the diamond.  On the mound he works two very efficient innings at the TPG.  He uses a small rocker step to get to a high balanced position and then sinks and drive to the plate.  His landing is in-line with the plate and he throws off two feet.  Arm slot is high ¾ and his arm is loose through delivery.  Fastball was consistent at 83 MPH and he showed good command and placement in the zone.  He mixed in two off speed pitches to keep hitters off balance.  His curve was 71 MPH with sharp 11/5 break.  He also showcased a 73 MPH change with late sink in the zone.

6-foot-3, 170 pounds. Bats and throws right. Lanky player. Projectable. Throws from over high 3/4 arm slot. Wraps back a little. Fastball lived between 82-84 mph and there is more there if hand is on top a little more. Lands inline then spins towards 1B. Curveball was 70 mph with 11-5 shape. Also threw a slider with late depth at 72 mph. Change was same arm speed as fastball at 76-77 mph. Nice prospect.
