Scouting Report

9/24/17:  Tall, lanky 6-foot-4, 175 pound right-handed pitcher has a projectable frame with easy effort down the mound.  Pitches from a high 3/4 slot with short arm swing.  Tall to fall type delivery.  Partial rotation of lower half.  Late arm side run and sink on the fastball.  Slider showcased flashes of depth and late break.  Some feel for a change-up to left-handed hitters.  Easy movements with room to add more velocity as he fills in.  High follow in 2018 class of uncommitted pitchers.

2017 Spring Scout Blog:  The 6'4", 180 pound junior played right field and hit cleanup. The unsigned junior hits from athletic, slightly open stance to start swing. Front foot landed slightly out, causing front side hip to slide out and lose power through swing. Quiet, simple hand load and stride with a simple approach to the baseball. Drove two singles up the middle for hits in game. Level line drive swing with hands working in short path to the baseball. Good anticipation and jumps on the base paths. Stole a couple bases. 4.53 on swing down the line, 6.7 runner at last event. Athletic in the outfield with average arm strength getting slightly uphill to throw. 

12/6/15: 6-foot-3, 165 pound righty pitches from a high ¾ slot with a long, quick arm action.  Inward turn with a high front side; uphill shoulders.  Hard fastball up to 84 mph.  Breaking ball was more of a spinner at 65-69.  Knuckle ball at 61-63; best off-speed pitch.
