Scouting Report
Big pitchability with plus command and for three pitches. All three pitches were on as usual as he really impressed in both appearances, striking out 5 and allowing no runs over 3 innings. Fastball sat 82-84, touching 86. Spin rate of 2080 rpm on the fastball explains the heavy sinking action. His best pitch is his fading 72-74 changeup, which he uses in any count, any situation. He has great feel for it and gets consistent swings and misses out of the zone. His third pitch, the slider, sits 74 and has above average depth and spin. He can get you out with any pitch at any time, but he rarely throws his slider outside of 2 strikes counts. He will make an impact at the next level as the pitchability and secondary stuff is elite and more velocity is definitely there in the lean body.
